Sweet Potato Curry Samosas with Cucumber Ribbons and Mango Chutney
-
Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Bring a saucepan of water to boil.
-
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small pieces. Dice the onion. Crush the garlic and grate the ginger.
-
Boil the sweet potatoes until tender, then drain and mash them.
-
In a pan, heat oil and sauté diced onions until translucent. Add minced garlic, grated ginger, and curry powder, cooking until fragrant.
-
Mix the sautéed spice mixture into the mashed sweet potatoes. Add spinach and finely chopped coriander, then season with salt and pepper.
-
Cut the filo pastry in half length-ways into strips and place a tablespoon of the filling at one end.
-
Fold the wrapper over the filling to form a triangle, then continue folding until the wrapper completely encases the filling. Seal with a dab of water.
-
Place the samosas on a baking sheet, brush with oil, and bake until golden and crisp, about 15-20 minutes.
-
While the samosas bake, peel the cucumber and use a peeler to create ribbons.
-
Spread yogurt on a serving platter to create a bed for the samosas.
-
Once the samosas are done, place them on the yogurt bed.
-
Serve with the cucumber ribbons and a dollop of mango chutney on the side.
