   Take a rectangular sheet of filo pastry or 1 layer of the samosa pad and brush one of the shorter edges with the beaten egg.
   

3. Step 3: Create a cone

   Create a triangular cone with one side open by folding the sheet over onto itself asymmetrically, (the pastry edge with the brushed egg applied to it should be sealing one end and there should be a flap left overhanging the top of the opening of the triangular cone.
   

4. Step 4: Stuff

   Now add half a tablespoon of the stuffing mixture into the cone and then brush the overhanging pastry flap over onto one side of the trianglualr cone and seal properly so that none of the mixture will be able to escape.
   

5. Step 5: Fry

   Deep fry the samosas collectively (about 5 at a time) in some hot oil for 4 minutes over a medium heat, making sure to turn the samosas over in the oil every few minutes. The samosas are ready to eat when each side of the samosas are golden brown in colour and the pastry has become crispy.
