2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
1 red chilli, finely chopped

A large handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped

Method:
- To make the dough, combine the flour, baking powder, chopped coriander and a pinch of salt in a large bowl.
- Use your fingers to rub in the oil until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Stir in the cold water, then bring it together with your hands into a rough dough, adding a splash more water if the dough is still quite dry.
- Place in a clean bowl, cover with cling film or a damp tea towel and leave to rest for 30 minutes.
- While the dough rests, make the filling by placing the potatoes into a pan of boiling salted water. Cook for 5 – 6 minutes then remove with a slotted spoon and place into a large bowl. Add the Green Isle Vegetables to the pan and cook for 3 – 4 minutes then drain and add to the bowl with the potatoes.
- Place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the olive oil and when hot, add the onion. Fry for 5 minutes until soft then add the garlic, ginger and chilli and cook for a further 3 – 4 minutes until soft and fragrant. Add the spice and stir through, cooking for a minute then add to the bowl with the potatoes and vegetables. Mash everything together roughly with a vegetable masher and stir through the chopped coriander then set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 180 C/ 160 C / Gas Mark 4 and line a large baking tray with baking paper.
- On a flour-dusted surface, cut the dough in half and roll out each half to about 2 cm thick. Using a pastry cutter, stamp out as many circles as you can, then roll into rounds, roughly ½ cm thick and 18 cm in diameter.
- Cut each round in half so you now have half-moon shapes then brush the straight edges with a little water. Bring the straight edges together to make a triangle shape and press lightly to seal.
- Spoon in the filling and brush the exposed dough with a little more water and press to seal. Place onto the prepared baking tray, then repeat with the remaining ingredients, keeping the samosas covered with a damp tea towel as you go.
- Brush the samosas with a little oil and bake for 45 minutes, or until golden and piping hot through.
- To make the raita, mix all the ingredients together and when the samosas are done, serve with the raita and some lime wedges.
