Method
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
  2. Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add potato and onion and cook for 5 minutes, stirring until onion is golden.
  3. Add ginger, curry powder and cumin seeds (if using) and stir for a couple of minutes.
  4. Add chickpeas, peas, tomato paste and water to the pan. Cook until potato is soft, stirring every now and then. (This should take about 10 minutes).
  5. Use a large round cookie cutter or glass to cut 10 centimetre rounds from each slice of bread.
  6. Place a large spoonful of potato mixture on half of each bread round.
  7. Brush a little water around the edge of the bread, then fold in half to encase the filling. Press along the edges of the bread with a fork.
  8. Place samosas on an oven tray and brush each one with a little oil.
  9. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown.
