Ingredients (serves 4):

For the pastry:

- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup water

For the filling:

- 1 cup cooked rice
- 1/2 cup diced onion
- 1/2 cup diced bell pepper
- 1/2 cup diced celery
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure the pastry dough is rolled out thin enough to create a crispy shell.
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the filling to prevent sticking.
- Adjust the amount of Cajun seasoning to your taste preference.

Cooking Process:

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, salt, and vegetable oil. Gradually add water and knead the dough until it forms a smooth ball. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.
2. In a pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and sauté until the vegetables are soft.
3. Add the cooked rice and Cajun seasoning to the pan and stir until the rice is coated with the seasoning. Remove from heat and let the filling cool.
4. Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out the pastry dough into thin circles and cut them in half.
5. Spoon the filling onto one half of the pastry circle and fold the other half over to create a triangle. Seal the edges by pressing them together with a fork.
6. Place the samosas on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
