Ingredients:

• 2 tsp (10ml) canola oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 2 Tbsp (30ml) harissa paste (any chilli paste works well too)
• 1 can (400g) chickpeas, roughly mashed
• ½ packet (150g) Swiss chard, shredded

• Low-fat or regular milk, for brushing

3. Stir in harissa paste and cook slightly.
4. Toss in chickpeas and Swiss chard and stir until wilted.
5. Set aside to cool.
6. Unroll pastry and cover with a damp tea towel.
7. Cut pastry into 6-8cm strips.
8. Stack three strips on top of each other, brushing them lightly with milk to help them stick together.
9. Place a tablespoon of filling at the base of a pastry strip.
10. Starting from the bottom, diagonally fold over one corner of pastry to create a triangle.
11. Repeat folding in opposite directions until you have a samoosa.
