Place 1 tsp of the filling on one side of the pastry and fold to the opposite to make a triangle. Continue by folding to opposite sides until the end – place on a baking paper sheet (which is placed on a baking tray), Fold end and ensure that it sticks to close the samosas. Continue until all samosas are folded.

Brush the samosas with butter and then sprinkle poppy seeds and salt on top of samosas and place the baking tray into the oven and cook for 10-12 minutes until light brown. If you wish wish to deep dry you can sprinkle the topping after frying.
