Even a handful of sunday lunch leftovers will make a good size samosa for Monday lunch - don't chuck it, make something of it..................
take one large handful of mixed leftovers -(can be meat,roast spuds, root veg however cooked, peas, carrots, anything at all) chop them up and fry them together with a little vegetable oil, 1/2 teaspoon garam masala, 1/2 chopped chilli (or chilli flakes) and season with salt and pepper. Wrap in a triangular shaped parcel of filo pastry. you can either fry this on both sides or brush with oil and bake inthe oven until golden and crispy. fry ahead and re-heat or they are great room temp for a packed lunch. I make mini ones and use as pre dinner snakcs when friends come around.
Add my 1 minute store cupboard raita by mixing 2 tablespoons natural yoghurt with 2 teaspoons mint sauce from a jar (you'll be amazed as the vinegar in the sauce thickens the yoghurt and flavours it perfectly!)
yum yum yum
