1. To make chilli, heat oil in a pan and fry onion for 5 mins until soft. Add spices; fry for 1 min. Stir in beef and cook for a few mins. Add tomato purée, stock and cinnamon. Give it a stir, bring to the boil, then simmer for 15-20 mins until very little liquid is left. Add beans 5 mins before the end of cooking. Check seasoning and cool.
2. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Using a 7cm pastry cutter, stamp out 12 circles from the pastry. Use to line a 12-hole mini muffin tray, prick the base of the pastry with a fork, and bake for 10 mins. Remove from oven and cool on a wire tray. Repeat with remaining pastry.
3. Meanwhile, cook the potato in boiling water until tender. Drain, mash with soured cream and seasoning, then stir through chives. Spoon 1-2 tsp of chilli mix into the pastry cases and top with a tsp of mash. Ruffle mash with a fork; return to the oven for 15 mins or until golden.

  Made these for tea. But didn't do mini pies. Used small pie dishes. I doubled the ingredients and this made enought for 8 pies. 4 which I've put in the freezer. So will let you know at later date how they freeze. The whole family really enjoyed them. Although my eldest thought there was too many kidney beans. And must admit beans did seem big for small pies. Might try baked beans next time.

  Made these in advance for my Boxing Day party and froze them before hand. Cooked them from frozen and they came out really well. They were very popular particularly amongst the men. I did change the recipe slightly by only adding one teaspoon of hot chilli powder and replacing the second with half a red scotch bonnet chilli. i think next time I make them I will only use fresh chillis as I think they taste better than chilli powder.

  My first Good Food disaster!! Confident that I followed the recipe correctly but found that the ready-made pastry rose up even though I pricked the base. Also the 7cm cutter seemed too large for the mini muffin tin that I bought. Tried again with smaller cutter but the pastry still rose and left no space for the filling. Not wanting to waste the filling I bought more pastry and tried rolling it more thinly. Didn't make any difference. Think I should have tried baking beans but my patience and time available had ran out by then!!!
