Method

  1. 1

    Heat the oven to 200C (180C fan, gas 6).

  2. 2

    Peel and chop one onion, then fry in a little of the vegetable oil for 5 minutes. Add the beef mince and cook for 8 minutes, breaking it up, until no pink remains. Stir in the garlic and curry powder, then leave to cool slightly.

  3. 3

    Cut the filo sheets into long strips. Spoon a little of the beef mixture at one end of each strip, then fold into triangles, brushing with oil as you go, to seal.

  4. 4

    Place the samosas on a baking tray and bake for 15-18 minutes until golden and crisp.

  5. 5

    Meanwhile, dice the tomatoes and remaining onion, chop the coriander, and toss with the lime juice to make the kachumbari.

  6. 6

    Serve the samosas with the kachumbari.
