In a frying pan heat 2 tbsp oil and sauté the onions. Add potatoes, green peas, cumin, turmeric, salt and pepper to taste, mix well. Add spring onion, mix again.
Put a teaspoon of vegetable filling on one end of the pastry strip.
Take corner of pastry and fold over to form a triangle, covering the filling. Lift first triangle up and over to form the second triangle, continue folding over and over until you reach the end of the pastry strip. Seal edges with some water. Continue and form all samosas.
