Add water, peas and potatoes. Heat mixture thoroughly; combine well. Add coriander but do not cook. Cool completely. Separate wrappers individually.

Brush edges with egg and fold over filling into a triangular shape. Place on baking sheet lined with a clean tea towel. Separate second wrapper and repeat. Unused wrapper can be refrozen if wrapped well. Heat 1 inch of oil in deep skillet. Cook in batches few minutes on each side until golden and crisp. Drain on a rack or paper towels. Serve with chutney as a dip if you wish. MAKES: approx. 24 Source: Marion Kane, The Toronto Star
