Add curry powder, turmeric, chilli paste and cummin and cook for an extra minute. 3 Dice cooked carrot and sweet potato and mix with capsicum and tomato preparation. Leave vegetables to cool. 4 Brush two baking sheets with a little oil and preheat oven to 200C/400F. 5 Place two sheets of filo on top of each other, narrow side towards you and cut in three lengthwise. Place 1 tbsp cold vegetables at the base of one of the long rectangles of double filo, about 2 cm inside the edge. Now fold the bottom right hand corner over to meet the left hand side of the rectangle. 6 This forms a small triangle at the base. Continue folding the triangle over upon itself, bottom corner towards opposite side, until you reach the top. 7 Make the rest of the samosas in the same way. 8 Place the samosas on oiled baking sheet and brush the top of each with a little oil. Cook in preheated oven 15-20 mins until golden.
