Samosas are pretty easy... You can really choose whatever you want to put in them, but I usually go for:

  1 onion
  2 medium sized potatos
  2 carrots (I usually grate them, but you could chop them to keep the crunch!)
  as many peas as you want!
  Meat is optional. I used to put minced beef in before my family all turned vegetarian!

  Squares of puff pastry
  Curry powder
  Salt
  Water
Sauté the onions (with any meat you may want to add) in a bit of olive oil and add all the other veges. From there you just add curry powder and salt to taste with about 1/4 - 1/2 a cup of water (Maybe more depending on how many veges you go with). Then just let it simmer and stir it occasionally until the potatoes are a little soft.

Then you just cut a cross in the middle of the pastry, spoon a bit of the curry into the middle and pinch all of the corners into the middle to make a little pyramid. I usually get about 16 with the quantities above.

Then you chuck them on a tray in the oven for about 20 mins at 180 degrees Celsius (sorry guys I'm from Australia) and voilĂ ! Delicious samosas!

I'll try and post some pictures later... I'm sure I have some somewhere :D
