Servings: persons

1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 onion, very finely chopped
1/2 garlic clove, crushed
1/4 teaspoon curry powder
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 cup finely chopped mushroom
3/4 cup cauliflower, cut into very small florets
1 carrot, very finely chopped
2 teaspoons superfine sugar
3 teaspoons plain yogurt
salt and pepper
12 phyllo pastry sheets
4 tablespoons butter, melted

1
Heat the oil in a skillet, add the onion and garlic, and saute for 2-3 minutes. Stir in the spices and saute for 1 minute. Add the vegetables and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the sugar and yogurt. Season and cook for 3-4 minutes.
2
Lay the phyllo pastry out flat and cover with a damp dish towel. Place one sheet of pastry on the work surface and brush with melted butter. Fold the pastry in half lengthwise and brush again with butter.
3
Place a tablespoon of filling on one end of the strip, leaving a 1 inch wide border around it. Fold over the corner to make a triange, then keep folding the package over on itself, along the length of the pastry. Seal the flap left at the end with melted butter. Repeat with the remaining sheets and filling.
4
Place the samosas on a lightly greased baking sheet and brush with more butter. Bake in a 350 degree F preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until crisp.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
