Ingredients

• 200 grams All-purpose flour
• 100 grams Whole wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 50 milliliters Vegetable oil
• 150 milliliters Water
• 200 grams Potatoes
• 100 grams Carrots
• 50 grams Peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat milk
• 1 large Egg

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F) and prepare a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, baking powder, and salt for the pastry. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the vegetable oil to the flour mixture and stir until the mixture resembles bread crumbs.

Step 4

Gradually add the water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in cling film and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 5

While the dough rests, peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into small cubes.

Step 6

Bring a small pot of water to a boil, add the potatoes and carrots, and cook for about 8 minutes or until just tender. Drain and set aside.

Step 7

In a non-stick pan over medium heat, add a splash of oil and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.

Step 8

Add the curry powder, stirring constantly for 1 minute until aromatic.

Step 9

Add the drained potatoes, carrots, and peas to the pan. Mix well with the curry spices.

Step 10

Stir in the sugar, salt, and black pepper, cooking for 2 more minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 11

Divide the rested dough into small balls, about the size of a large walnut.

Step 12

Roll each dough ball into a thin circle on a floured surface.

Step 13

Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each circle.

Step 14

Fold the dough over to create a semi-circle and crimp the edges to seal.

Step 15

Place each karipap on the prepared baking tray.

Step 16

Beat the egg with the low-fat milk and lightly brush over each karipap for a golden finish.

Step 17

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

Step 18

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
