strip of pastry.

folding the triangle over itself until you reach the end of the
strip.
Put on to greased baking sheets or lift off paper on a baking
sheet.
Continue with more strips of filo pastry until all the filling is
used up.
Brush the tops of each samosa with melted butter.
Bake on the grid shelf on the floor of the roasting oven for about
10 minutes then put directly on to the floor of the roasting oven
to brown the basesabout a further 5 minutes.
Stir fry the vegetables quickly so that they keep some crispness.

shape.
