Ingredients

5	frozen spring roll wrappers, 22cm squared
1 small	egg, beaten
500 ml	vegetable oil for deep frying
	For the Filling:
1 tbsp	ghee or vegetable oil
3	shallots, finely chopped
1 clove(s)	garlic, finely chopped
2 tsp	ginger, finely chopped
½ tbsp	freshly ground coriander
1 tsp	freshly ground cumin
¼ tsp	turmeric
¼ tsp	chilli powder
¼ tsp	freshly ground black pepper
pinch(es)	of grated nutmeg
pinch(es)	of ground cloves
160 g	potatoes, cut into medium dice
220 g	carrots, cut into medium dice
60 ml	water
½ tsp	salt, plus extra to taste
1 ½ tbsp	spring onions, finely chopped
1 tbsp	mint leaves, finely chopped

Instructions

Heat the ghee or oil; add shallots, garlic and ginger and fry, stirring continuously, for 2 minutes. Add all the ground spices and stir-fry for a few seconds. Add potatoes and carrots and cook, stirring frequently, for about 2 minutes.

Add water and salt and simmer covered for about 10 minutes. Stir occasionally. Season to taste and add spring onions and mint. Stir-fry for 1 minute.

Transfer the moist mixture to a bowl and leave to cool.

Cut each spring roll wrapper into 2 equal strips. Take one strip of spring roll wrapper at a time and wrap the rest in a damp tea towel.

Fold over one corner of the wrapper at a 30º angle and brush it with a little beaten egg. Turn the folded edge over again to line up with one side of the strip. Press the edge that has been brushed with egg to seal the wrapper at the side so that it forms a pocket.

Stuff 3-4 teaspoons of filling into one pocket. Place the wrappers on the work surface and fold the pocket over the remaining wrapper, brushing well with egg to seal.

Heat the oil to about 180ºC and add 3-4 Samosa at a time and fry for about 3 minutes, turn over frequently with a slotted spoon, until are golden brown.

Remove the Samosa and drain well on kitchen paper. Keep warm in a hot oven until the remaining Samosa is fried.

Serve warm with coriander-yoghurt dip.
