Ingredients

10 Potatoes

2 carrots, finely diced

2 small or 1 large onion, finely chopped

1.5 cups peas & corn

1 cup water

1 tablespoon olive oil

¼ teaspoon turmeric

¼ teaspoon gram masala

2 teaspoons curry powder

4 sheets reduced fat puff pastry

Low Fat milk for brushing tops of the pastry

Yoghurt mixed with mint and sweet chili sauce for serving

Preparation

  • Pierce potatoes with a skewer 3 or 4 times.  In 2 batches (5 each time on a plate) microwave on high for 15 mins or until cooked.  Set aside and when slightly cooled enough to pick up peel off the skin with a small knife.
  • Once all potatoes are cooked and peeled chop them and put into a large bowl.
  • In a large non-stick fry pan spray heat olive oil and cook onions until softened.
  • When onions cooked drizzle tiny bit more oil and add turmeric, gram masala, and curry powder, the spices should sizzle for 1 minute to release the aroma.
  • Preheat oven to 200C (400F)
  • Now add carrot which have been finely diced and ¼ cup water so they cook quickly. Once softened add potato and stir to well incorporated.  Add more water another ¼ cup otherwise will become dry.  Now add the peas and corn, try not to mash them but stir into the mixture.
  • Layout the 4 sheets of pastry, they will take around 5 mins to defrost depending on the temperature.
  • Once defrosted, cut each sheet into 4 squares.
  • Place some mixture into each little sheet in the centre, with a pastry brush a little cold water on the edge inside so when you close it helps to stick.  Fold so you end up with a log shape. Press edges together.  Brush with milk on top for a shine when cooked.
  • Layout on baking trays lined with non-stick baking. Place each pastry onto trays and bake for 20 mins or until puffed and golden.
  • Serve with yoghurt mixed with mint and sweet chili sauce.curry
