• Spray two sheets of the filo pastry with oil and then sandwich them together. Cut the sandwiched sheets into 3 strips.


• Blob a spoonful of vegetable filling at the bottom corner of each strip of pastry. One by one fold the strips to create triangles. Repeat with the remaining filo pastry. Spray each samosa with a little more oil and sprinkle with the seeds.
