Ingredients

14 Sheets of phyllo pastry, thawed and wrapped in a damp dish toweloil for brushing the pastries3 large potatoes, boiled and roughly mashed3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed1/3 cup frozen corn, thawed1 tsp curry powder1/2 tsp cumin1 small onion, finely chopped2 fresh green chiles, finely chopped (I used jalapenos)2 Tbsp cilantro leaves, chopped2 Tbsp fresh mint leaves, choppedjuice of 1 lemonsalt, to taste

Directions

You can make the filling ahead of time by mixing all the ingredients together in a bowl and letting it sit overnight in the fridge. Be VERY careful when working with jalapenos or any hot pepper. Wear gloves or be sure to wash your hands very well after cutting them. Do not touch your face or your eyes when you have pepper oil on your hands. IT WILL HURT! If you don't like a lot of spice, remove the seeds and the pith from the peppers.

1) Preheat the over to 400. Cut each of the phyllo pastry in half lengthwise and fold each piece in half lengthwise to make 28 thin strips. Lightly brush with oil.

2) Using one strip of the pastry at a time, place 1 Tbsp of the filling mixture at one end and fold the pastry diagonally over. Continue folding to form a triangle shape. Brush the samosas with oil. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until golden brown.
