Method

  1. Heat oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan. Tip in the onions and cook until soft and golden, about 8-10 mins.
  2. Meanwhile, boil the potato cubes for 5 mins, until just tender, then drain. Tip into the softened onions and fry for 2 mins more. Stir in the curry paste and cook for 2 mins. Pop in the peas, plus 1 tbsp water. Cook for 1 min, give everything a good mix and season. Tip into a bowl to allow to cool slightly.
  3. Brush half the filo half-sheets with some of the remaining oil, then lay the remaining sheets on top so you have 4 x double layers. Spoon a ¼ of the potato mix along one edge of each, leaving a bit of space at each end. Fold in the ends then roll up to seal. Place seam-side down on a baking sheet, brush with the remaining oil and bake for 20 mins, or until crisp. Serve warm with a dollop of mango chutney and a tomato & onion salad, if you like.

    These were fab, the filo pastry is a bit fiddly to work with but as they roll the tears are covered up, and they stayed together when cooking. There's a lot of filling for just 4 rolls, next time i'll do 6 smaller rolls, but i'll definitely be making them again. Easy peasy but impressive.

    I also found too much filling for 4 rolls and found needed more oil and longer cooking to make crispy. Tried the recipe from the magazine but although says serves 4- not a meal in itself. Wouldn't do again but might adapt recipe or make the filling with a bit more spice.

    Easy and very delicious... perfect for a packed lunch, and super healthy!!! The explanation of the filo was a bit complex...I found it easier to brush whole sheets with oil, then fold in half!

    This is a wonderful addition to any curry, and looks quite impressive for guests. I agree that there is a bit too much filling recommended, but use your judgement and it will be just fine. We have cooked these many times now.

    Re last post snipslop, yes these can be frozen providing the pastry you use is fresh NOT frozen. Hope this helps

    We really enjoyed this. WIll try again experimenting with different curry pastes. I was surprised at how much it made. Will follow others' advice and make smaller ones next time.

    Just finished making these and gave them a try. Brilliant idea for low fat snacks at work, I only take half though as they're quite big! I used 1 cal spray oil on the pastry to take down the fat content some more. I will half again the pastry and make smaller ones next time I think. Great tasting I will probably experiment with filling.
