Ingredients

1 small floury potato peeled and halved
60ml vegetable oil
1 small onion diced
4 garlic cloves grated
1 tbsp mild curry powder
200g runner beans topped, tailed and sliced, plus extra to serve
1 tbsp mango chutney
1/2 small pack coriander roughly chopped
6sheets filo pastry
natural yogurt mixed with chopped mint and lime, to serve
1 tsp icing sugar
1 tbsp mild curry powder
1 tbsp onion seeds

Method

Place the halved potato in a small pan, cover it with cold water, and bring to a boil. Let it simmer for 15 mins until tender, then mash it and set it aside.
Prepare the samosa filling next. Warm 2 tsp of the oil in a frying pan and cook the diced onion for about 5 mins until it begins to colour. Add the grated garlic, 1 tbsp curry powder, and the sliced beans, frying for 2 mins until they soften slightly. Take off the heat and mix in the chutney, mashed potato, and chopped coriander. Season lightly and chill in the fridge for 15 mins.
Preheat your oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. To assemble, lay a single filo sheet on your worktop. Brush it lightly with oil and fold it in half lengthways, keeping the short edge facing you. Keep the other pastry sheets under a damp cloth. Spoon one sixth of the chilled filling onto one end of the strip, leaving a 2cm border. Fold the right corner over to the left to create a triangle shape, enclosing the filling. Continue folding along the strip's length until you reach the end. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking tray and repeat with the remaining filling and pastry.
Brush all the assembled samosas with the remaining oil. Dust them with 1 tsp icing sugar, 1 tbsp curry powder, and the onion seeds. Bake in the oven for 20 mins until they turn a deep golden brown. Serve with the mint and lime yogurt and some extra chutney.
