Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 220°C.
2. Add a little oil to a pan. Once hot, fry the onion for 5 minutes.
3. Next add the garlic, curry powder, cumin, coriander and chili powder to the pan, and fry for a further 2 minutes.
4. Then add the carrot, potato, peas and vegetable stock, and simmer on a low heat for 20 minutes with the lid on.
5. Meanwhile, roll out the pastry and use the pastry cutters to cut 12 large circles and 12 small circles. The pastry should be 4-5mm thick (if you're making your own).
6. Before taking the pan off the heat, add the corn flour and salt. Simmer again on a low heat for 2-3 mins with the lid on.
7. Place the large pastry circles into each muffin tin, followed by 1-2 tablespoons of the samosa mixture. Then cover and seal each pie with a small circle of pastry.
8. Brush the top of each pie with almond milk, then bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until golden brown.
