Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3 minutes.
Stir in the carrots, peas, mushrooms, mustard seeds, garam masala and salt. Cook for 2 minutes before adding your mashed potatoes. Reduce the temperature.
Roll out the filo sheets onto a flat surface. Cut length ways and coat with the oil.
