Method

  1. Preheat oven to 180°C.
  2. Cook potato in a little water in the microwave until tender, about 6 minutes. Very lightly mash the potatoes with a fork so that potato is broken up.
  3. Cook onion and garlic in a non-stick frying pan with a dash of oil until onion is opaque. Add spices and fry for two minutes.
  4. Add potato and peas to the pan and mix through. Cook until peas are defrosted.
  5. Make a layer of four sheets of filo, brushing lightly in between each sheet with milk. Cut pile in half lengthways to make a long thin strip. Put a spoonful of mixture in the corner of each strip and repeatedly fold over itself into a triangle shape. Brush the top of each triangle lightly with milk and bake for 20 minutes or until golden.
