  • 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.
