Ingredients
- 8 sheets of filo pastry
- 4 medium sweet potatoes roasted
- 60 g soft goats cheese cubed
- 3 tbsp peas
- 2 spring onions sliced
- 1 tbsp fresh coriander chopped
- 1/2 tsp chilli flakes
- 1/4 tsp garlic paste
- 1 tsp cumin

- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp mustard seeds

Yoghurt dip
- 150 g low fat yogurt
- 1 lime juice
- handful fresh coriander
- salt and pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C fan / 350°F / gas 4. With a knife, prick the sweet potato and bake them in the oven for about half an hour or until they are soft. While your sweet potatoes are cooking boil the peas.
- Take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and let them cool until you can handle them. Then scrape the sweet potato into a bowl.
- Add all the other ingredients to your bowl with the sweet potato, apart from the mustard seeds and cheese.
- Using a fork mix all the ingredients together until it resembles mashed potato.
- In a medium heat saucepan cook the mustard seed until they start to pop. This should take between 30 seconds and a minute. Add them to the mixture and give a good stir.
- Cube up the cheese and sprinkle into the mixture and gently mix through. Turn the oven up to 200°C / 180°C fan / 400°F / gas 6.
- Make the samosas using the step by step photo guide above. Bake them for 20 minutes or until golden and crispy.
- Once your samosas are out of the oven serve straight away so they don't loose their crisp. Serve with a large helping of yogurt dip and a handful of coriander. Enjoy!
