Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1/2 tsp turmeric
- 1 tsp curry powder
- 1/4 tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Quick Coriander Chutney:
- 1 cup fresh coriander leaves
- 1 small garlic clove
- 1 green chili (optional)
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2–3 tbsp water (to blend)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and toast for 30 seconds.
- Add onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
- Add diced potatoes, turmeric, curry powder, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. Stir to coat evenly.
- Add 1/4 cup water, cover, and cook for 10–12 minutes until potatoes are tender. Stir in peas, lemon juice, and coriander. Let the filling cool slightly.
- Roll out puff pastry and cut into squares (about 4–5 inches). Place filling in the center, fold over into triangles, and seal edges with a fork.
- Brush with egg wash and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.
- Meanwhile, blend coriander chutney ingredients in a food processor until smooth. Adjust seasoning and water as needed.
- Serve pasties warm with the chutney for dipping.
Notes
- Use leftover mashed or roasted potatoes for a shortcut.
- Make the pasties ahead and freeze before baking. Bake from frozen, adding 5 extra minutes.
- Chutney can be made a day in advance and stored in the fridge.
