    Heat the oil and lightly fry the onion, garlic and ginger with the curry powder.

    3

    Remove from heat and allow to cool before filling the samoosas.

    Fold the samoosa according to packet instructions and seal with a paste of flour mixed with water to prevent the filling from spilling out.
