Method

  1. Heat a large pan of water, add the potatoes, then cook for 8 mins until just soft. Add the peas 1 min before the end of cooking time. Drain, then set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the onion until soft and slightly coloured. Add the curry paste and mustard seeds, then fry for a few mins more until the mixture smells fragrant. Carefully stir in the potatoes and peas, trying not to mash them. Add the lemon juice and coriander, then leave to cool.
  3. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Unroll the pastry rectangle, place on a floured surface with the long side towards you and roll it out a little more to make it into a square shape. Cut into 4 squares, then cut each one in half so you have 8 long rectangles. Place 4 of them onto a baking sheet, brush the edges with beaten egg and place a quarter of the filling down the centre of each. Top with the remaining pastry, then pinch the edges together to make a sealed parcel. Brush with more egg, then bake for 20 mins until puffed and golden. If cooking from frozen, bake for 30 mins. Serve with fresh green salad and a spoonful of chutney.

    these were rather tasty and handy for packed lunches the next day. however, the boyfriend did comment that "they'd be better if they contained meat", so no cigar.

    This were really good - I made them for a quick reheat supper (I was out babysitting so needed something that could be transported easily) - though the material made far too much filling! (we ended up having it reheated for supper the next day) I've ended up changing the filling part of the recipe, though - Sweet Potato, leek, onion and cheese is the current favourite...

    A great quickie. Perfect for making ahead and popping in the freezer for those days when dinner time catches you unawares!

    Couldn't find Black Mustard seeds but managed to get the rest of it together and used ordinary mustard seeds, no idea if there is any difference. Despite being the world's worst cook I produced a finished product that didn't resemble the original in anyway but it was delicious. Was unable to get a second opinion since I scoffed the lot. Will try again with a bit more curry paste and maybe change the vegetable a bit for variety.

    Very nice. Also couldn't find any black mustard seeds so used ordinary mustard seeds. 15 minutes prep is a bit on the optimistic side. Think next time we'll forget the pastry and try it with pitta bread.

    not very tasty. I thought it was lacking in salt and pepper. Will try again without the curry paste using potatoes, peas, onion, garlic and some spices.
