Method

  1. Fry the onion and carrot in a little oil until soft, then mix in the curry powder. Add the cauliflower, peas and tomato and cook for about one minute, then stir in the split peas. Cool.
  2. Roll the pastry out to the thickness of a 20p, then cut out 16 small circles, about 10cm each (or you could make 4 large pasties, about 18-20cm). Put a little filling into the centre of each pastry circle, brush the edges with egg, then fold over and seal. Brush with a little more egg glaze and chill until ready to cook.
  3. Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Bake the pasties for 15-20 min or until puffed and golden. Mix the yoghurt with the mint and cucumber. Serve with the pasties.

Know-how

I like to make mini pasties - they're a hit with kids and they also make good party food for adults. The curry flavour is really mild.

    This recipe produces a huge amount of filling. I used red lentils instead of the split peas as I don't like sp's and halved the amount but still have enough for twice the amount of pasties! However they are delicious, a bit more troublesome than I'd imagined but I would do them again. Oh and I used about 2 teasp curry paste instead of powder.

    I'm very sorry to say but this recipe wasn't at all good. I think the measures are wrong as it does make a huge amount of filling. I also don't like the taste of it and I think the mishmash of vegetables doesn't enhance any flavour. This is the first recipe I've tried that I don't like.

    You must've got something wrong! Ours turned out fine with a halved recipe! we also used lentils instead of split peas-it worked really well! =]

    I found this also made a huge amount of filling but we made some samosas with the remainder! I made this a second time with some frozen mixed veg as I was in a hurry and tasted just as good!!!!

    I haven't tried the recipe yet but could it be that it should have stated 50g of split peas and not 500g?

    I made this recipe as a starter one day for my family. I am 14 and found it very easy to make. I didn't add the split peas but found that I could make 24 pasties. They were delicous. I didn't make the yoghurt sauce to go with it. The curry flavour was very mild so next time I would probably add a little bit more curry powder. Also we saved some and ate them cold for lunch the next day and they were yummy so I am going to make some to take to school for my lunch :)

    I made some veggie curry pasties using these as a rough guide and the suggestions above. I used 50g lentils, 1 heaped tablespoon of Medium Curry Powder and made my own pastry. They were nice and filling with a big dollop of lime pickle on the side to give extra flavour. Oh, also added some grated cheddar. My wife and I shared one massive one and I'm taking another big one for lunch tomorrow (also froze three more - these are generous helpings!!) Would make them again - not 'wow' but cheap and yummy.
