Method

  1. Cook the sweetcorn in a pan of boiling water for about 3 mins. Drain and set aside. Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a wok or large pan. Toss in the cumin seeds and cook, shaking, for about 30 secs until they take on a nutty aroma. Add the onion and cook until softened. Stir in the corn, garam masala, lime juice and feta, and cook for 1 min until any liquid evaporates. Leave to cool.
  2. Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Lay out a sheet of filo and cut in half lengthways. Brush with some of the remaining oil, then spoon 2 tbsp of sweetcorn mixture on top of each half. Fold each over into a triangle. Repeat with the remaining filo sheets, oil (reserving about 1 tbsp) and mixture. Put the cornflour in a small bowl and add enough water to make a thin paste. Brush the paste over the triangle edges so the seals are secure. The samosas can be frozen at this point. Put them on a tray lined with cling film and freeze until firm before bagging and sealing.
  3. Put the samosas on a baking tray. To cook straight away, brush tops with reserved oil. Bake for 15 mins until golden and crisp.

    These were absolutely lovely but I could have done with better instruction in how to shape the samosas. Mine ended up looking like giant sailing boats!

    Quite agree with the previous comment.Could have done with better instructions about using filo. However these are delicious and very easy and a favourite with my vegetarian daughter. I have made these four times and best way I have found is to cut filo into squares using 2 squares per samosa,putting one square on top of another at an angle I brushed each square with melted butter then put a dollop of mixture in the centre and folded it over roughly to make a parcel then brushed tops and sealed with melted butter instead of cornflour and they turned out ok.

    These parcels were nice and tasty but the filo folding was a bit of a nightmare! My husband is the prince of pastry in our house and he devised his own method. The end result was more like a parcel than a small samosa but tasty all the same. Check out the recipe on the blog... http://www.theannoyedthyroid.com/2012/07/26/corn-and-fetta-samosas/

    Haven't tried the recipe out yet, but are there any possible substitutions for the red onions in the recipe, as I am trying to make it ideal for a child's lunchbox. Thanks

    I was thinking the same for my son and am going to use mashed potato, mashed peas and sweetcorn. I get these with a takeaway and the ingredients vary from place to place - so I would think anything goes (just report back with what worked!) :)
