To quote Nik or Edwina:

"This is a lovely sort-of-samosa, adapted from a Thai street food recipe, which normally embeds the spicy beef mixture in a kind of coconut oil puff pastry. We'Β’ve used filo pastry instead, so it works brilliantly warm or at room temperature"

Mise en place

  • Preheat the oven to 200Β° C (400Β° F - gas 6)

Method

  1. Put the Masala Mix, chilli powder, ginger and coriander stalks into a pestle and mortar, and crush to a smooth paste. Add a dot of groundnut oil or coconut oil if itΒ’s too dry
  2. Heat a splash of groundnut oil or coconut oil in a thick-bottomed saucepan and add 2/3 of the chopped spring onions. Fry for 1 minute, then add the masala paste and fry for another 2 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon all the while
  3. Add the beef, and fry for 4 minutes. Take off the heat, and add the rest of the spring onions, the coriander, the nam pla and the beaten egg
  4. Fold a large sheet of filo pastry in half, brushing it with oil. Cut a second sheet of filo in half , brush with oil and place it in the middle of the existing one to from a cross. Place a quarter of the beef mixture at the centre of the cross and fold the sides over it, brushing as you go with oil. Do the same lengthways to ensure that all parts of the filling are covered with at least two layers of pastry. Place the parcel on a baking tray, and repeat 3 more times
  5. Place the tray in the oven, and bake for 15 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Allow to rest for 10 minutes.

Serving suggestion

Serve with a green salad and chilli sauce.
