Stir in Lamb meat, cooking until brown. Add garlic, ginger, salt and pepper – reduce heat to low. Stir in chicken stock and peas, cooking for 15 minutes on low. Mix in mashed potatoes, turn off heat.
Samosas: Sprinkle the pastry with flour & Roll the puff pastry out slightly, to flatten the seams. Using a paring knife, cut into 1/2 then ½ again to make four squares.

Do the same with the other two corners, pinch again and then pinch the diagonal folds.
