Assemble the samosas
1. Unroll the pastry and take two sheets to work with — keep the rest covered with cling film to prevent it from drying out
2. Brush both sheets with a little oil
3. With the shorter side facing you, cut down the center line to make two long strips
4. Put 50g of the stuffing mixture on the top right corner of the sheet and roughly shape it into a triangle
5. Fold the pastry at an angle and continue for the full length of sheet to form a neat triangle that completely contains the stuffing
6. Use a knife to cut off any excess pastry
