Method
1 Preheat the oven to 180C fan/200C. Boil the potatoes for 10 minutes in plenty of boiling salted water. Add the spring greens to the water for the final 2 minutes until just cooked through, then drain well and set aside.
2 Heat the oil in a large saucepan, then add the cumin seeds and fry on a medium heat until they just start to brown. Add the ginger, garlic, chilli and onion, then stir fry for 10 minutes on a medium to high heat until the onion starts to turn golden around the edges. Lower the heat and add the ground cumin, coriander, nigella seeds, turmeric and sea salt. Stir fry for 2 minutes until the spices are aromatic, then add the cooked potato and spring greens. Mix well with the salt, lime juice and mint, then taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
3 Cut a filo sheet in half horizontally, then lengthways into thirds, so you have six rectangles. Place a heaped tablespoon of the potato filling at the top of each rectangle, then fold the top corner down to form a triangle. Keep folding the triangle down over the pastry, then tuck the remaining piece of pastry into the final fold. Brush well with olive oil, then transfer to a lined baking sheet. Continue until all are folded.
4 Transfer the samosas to the oven and bake for 30 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Meanwhile, mix the tomatoes, cucumber, coriander, red onion, sea salt and lime juice together, and set aside.
5 Serve the samosas hot, with the salad alongside.
