Ingredients
  

  • 750 grams Potato cut into roughly 4cm cubes
  • 2 tbsp Vegetable Oil
  • 1 Onion diced
  • 1 inch Ginger minced
  • 3 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 2 Large Tomatoes
  • 1 Red Chilli Sliced - deseeded if you aren't keen on spice
  • 2 tsp Mustard Seeds
  • 1 tsp Cumin Seeds
  • 2 tsp Turmeric
  • 2 tsp Garam Masala
  • Bunch of coriander leaves Chopped
  • 8 sheets Filo Pastry
  • Olive Oil Spray
  • Sesame Seeds optional for decorating top of pie

Method
 

  1. Boil cubed potatoes until fork tender - make sure they don't go too soft!
  2. Preheat oven to 180C Fan-forced/200C Conventional oven
  3. In a large pan over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil. When hot, add mustard seeds and cumin seeds, cook until the seeds start popping.
  4. Once popping, add onion, garlic, ginger, chilli and tomatoes. Cook until softened - usually about 10 minutes.
  5. Add the remaining spices - turmeric, garam masala and cook for a further minute.
  6. Take the pan off the heat then mix through your cooked potatoes and chopped coriander leaves.
  7. To assemble, spray an 8-inch, loose-bottomed cake tin with olive oil spray. Overlap 4 sheets of filo - spraying each layer as you go - to line the bottom of the cake tin.
  8. Once lined, fill with your spicy potato mixture. When filled, scrunch up 3-4 additional filo sheets and top before spraying the top with more olive oil spray. Option to sprinkle over sesame seeds to decorate.
  9. Place in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes when the top should be golden and crispy.
  10. Serve with a healthy dollop of mango chutney!
