Cube the potatoes and boil until soft. It will take about 10 minutes. Put a little oil in a saucepan with the mustard seeds.

When they begin to pop add the chopped onion, ginger and chilli pepper. Cook for 2 minutes on high then add the peas, the spices and a dash of water. After about 2 more minutes add the potatoes and coriander leaves. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes. Adjust any seasonings if necessary. Leave to cool. Melt the butter in microwave or in a small saucepan. Lay a sheet of filo pastry out. Spread butter on half of it then fold it over.

Spread butter on half of it again and fold it again. Put a dessert spoon of filling at one end of the pastry. Brush a little butter next to the filling, where the pastry is going to be joined.

Fold the corner over diagonally to cover the filling. Fold again upwards and then once more to use up the whole pastry sheet. Brush a little butter on top and sprinkle with seeds to decorate. Bake in the oven at C for 30 minutes. Using a large sharp knife, cut vertically into 5 even strips or you can make them smaller or larger if you wish.

Place a heaped tablespoonful of filling at the bottom of each strip, fold over a few times so that you form a triangular pocket, then place seam-side down on a baking paper-lined baking tray.

Brush all over with melted butter, then repeat with the remaining pastry and filling. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden and crisp.
