Samosas – the traditional ones with a spiced potato and pea filling – were an absolute favourite of my children when they were little (and still are.)

They are somewhat time-consuming to make, but fun and worth the effort.

I find the traditional pastry too heavy, so I substitute a leavened dough that I also use for Empanadas.
