2. In a large bowl mix together the peas, potatoes, cumin, amchoor, chillies, onion, coriander, mint and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and put to one side.

3. Fold each filo pastry sheet in half lengthways. Put a large spoonful of the potato mixture at one end and then fold the corner of the pastry over the mixture, covering it in a triangular shape. Continue folding over the triangle of pastry along the length of the pastry strip to make the samosa.
