Ingredients

  • 350 regular corn frozen
  • tbsp vegetable oil 
  • tsp cumin seeds 
  • large onion diced red finely
  • tsp garam masala 
  •  juice of lime 
  • 200 feta cheese 
  • sheets dough 
  • tsp cornstarch 

Equipment

  • bowl
  • frying pan
  • oven
  • baking pan
  • wok

Directions

  1. Cook the sweetcorn in a pan of boiling water for about 3 mins.
  2. Drain and set aside.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a wok or large pan. Toss in the cumin seeds and cook, shaking, for about 30 secs until they take on a nutty aroma.
  4. Add the onion and cook until softened. Stir in the corn, garam masala, lime juice and feta, and cook for 1 min until any liquid evaporates. Leave to cool.
  5. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas
  6. Lay out a sheet of filo and cut in half lengthways.
  7. Brush with some of the remaining oil, then spoon 2 tbsp of sweetcorn mixture on top of each half. Fold each over into a triangle. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets, oil (reserving about 1 tbsp) and mixture.
  8. Put the cornflour in a small bowl and add enough water to make a thin paste.
  9. Brush the paste over the triangle edges so the seals are secure. The samosas can be frozen at this point.
  10. Put them on a tray lined with cling film and freeze until firm before bagging and sealing.
  11. Put the samosas on a baking tray. To cook straight away, brush tops with reserved oil.
  12. Bake for 15 mins until golden and crisp.
