Ingredients

• 250 grams all-purpose flour
• 100 grams unsalted butter
• 60 milliliters cold water
• 150 grams potato
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon curry powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garam masala
• 50 grams peas, frozen
• 1 medium carrot, small diced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the pastry. In a large mixing bowl, add the flour and a pinch of salt. Rub the butter into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.

Step 2

Gradually add cold water, a little at a time, and mix until a dough is formed. Wrap the dough in cling film and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.

Step 3

While the pastry is chilling, peel and dice the potatoes, and boil them in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

Heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté until translucent. Add the garlic and ginger, sauté for another minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Stir in the diced carrots, cooked potatoes, and peas. Add the curry powder, garam masala, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and cook for another 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste and remove from heat to cool.

Step 6

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F).

Step 7

Roll out the pastry on a floured surface to about 3mm thickness. Cut circles using a 10cm (4-inch) cutter.

Step 8

Place a tablespoon of the prepared filling onto each circle. Fold the pastry over to enclose the filling and crimp the edges to seal.

Step 9

Place the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
