Here they are to save you trawling xxx
SAMOSAS
-------------
samosas are what SW class as a tweak so you will need to decide if you are happy making them and classing them as free. ( I did as I only had 2 in a day. )
you need 1 lasagne sheet for every 2 samosas
I made a batch of the filling to cover the samosas and the patties.
A packet of smash or left over mashed potato
1 medium carrot
1 onion
1 tbsp curry powder
Salt and pepper
Frozen Peas & sweetcorn. I used 15g of each but whatever you like is fine.
Optional extra for the veg patties. - 1/2 hea allowance of cheese (15g)
I chopped onion and carrot into small pieces and threw into a pan of boiling water with the peas, sweetcorn, curry powder and a veg stock cube . Allow to boil until tender.
As there was water in the veg and there wasn't much of it left I tipped the lot into a bowl with smash in. It was then enough to make it up perfectly. I stirred it all up added salt and pepper to taste.
Meanwhile put lasagne sheets into a pan of boiling water and cook until soft . Carefully lift out one at a time. Cut in half widthways to give you 2 squares.
Add a spoonful of mix to the middle of the square and fold corner to corner into a triangle. Squash down a bit and press edges with a fork, this was a bit fiddly and some didn't want to stick so I used a squidge of the mixture along some of the edges to act like glue!
When all done, spray with frylight and bake in oven gas 6 - depending on your oven--- the recipe said 30 mins but mine were over done , so keep an eye.
They were quite hard on edges but lovely in the middle but I'm guessing its because of the cooking time. I'd Definitely give it another go.
VEGETABLE CURRIED PATTIES
--------------------------------------
With the left over mixture , I added 1/2 hea of cheese and mixed through. Then shaped into little patties with a small sized cookie cutter and baked for 10 mins or until slightly browning. They were really yummy.

large cup of strong black tea ( brew 2 teabags for about 10 mins)

I used a loaf tin and as the syns were 9 for the whole lot, I cut it into 9 making it easy to syn at 1 per slice. You can use it as heb but if not then your scan bran is 5 syns aswell
This is the best one I've tried I think
