Reserve in the fridge.

Prepare the samosas: peel the potatoes and cut them into small cubes. Cook them in boiling salted water for 15 minutes, drain them and roughly mash them with a fork.

In a hot pan, melt the ghee, throw in the spices and bird's eye chili, then add the crushed potatoes, the whole egg and the mustard, continue cooking for 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the washed, dried and chopped fresh coriander. Salt, pepper.

Cut the brick sheets in half, fold the rounded part of the sheet, place 1 tbsp. of stuffing on one corner, then fold it into a triangle to envelop the filling. Seal the samosas with a little egg yolk using a brush.
