About Burmese Samosa

Amy and Emily Chung present these potato-and-onion samosas as a familiar Burmese street snack and tea-shop food. Their thin pastry encloses roughly mashed potato, peas, onion and fresh coriander.

Crushed coriander and cumin seeds season the filling alongside garlic, ginger, green chilli, garam masala, turmeric and chilli powder. Spring-roll pastry is folded into cones and sealed with a flour-and-water paste.

The filled cones close into tidy triangles before deep-frying. The samosas are drained and served hot while the outer layers remain crisp, with the spiced vegetables held inside.
