1 cup finely chopped spring onions
1/2 cup chopped fresh coriander
2 cloves garlic; crushed
1 inch ginger; grated
2 green chillies; crushed
1/4 tspn garam masala
200 gm /8 oz Feta cheese; crumbled (mash using a fork)

Method
1. Drain the spinach in a colander
2. Mix the spinach, spring onions, coriander and cheese

ALL of your recipes are ravishing, Mumad and I are drooling here, as we look at the fotos, the summer jelly looks amazing as do all the other dishes..like the lamb chops, and M likes the 'Matoki'!! ...yum!!! You continue to have a great looking cooking blog...well done Saj...LOVE it! so v proud of you always ....urs hungrily!!!L& M.
Happy cook, you should be able to buy the pastry in Indian stores, if not you can use Chinese spring roll pastry, or Greek/Turkish filo pastry.
Thanks Lisa, that is very sweet of you. ps the lamb chops were Shaheens, posted by Mohsin.

Dear Saju
I am gonna try out your recipe today, looks great to me!
I have to tell you though that I found your recipe with even the same pictures that you have used on another site,posted this year, I am not sure if it was taken with your permission, you might want to check this link - http://www.punjabrang.com/forum/f172/cheese-spinach-samosa-9279/
Don't underestimate the filo its really hard to fold and goes brittle easily (keep moist). Although they look amazing after frying.!WARNING-USE FLOUR ON YOUR SURFACE! Taste great...eating one now! Thanks for the recipe! X
