Method

Make it happen

  1. 01

    Rub butter into flour and salt, add water to make a dough and chill for 20 minutes.

  2. 02

    Roll dough 3 mm thick and cut out six 15 cm circles, re-rolling trimmings only once.

  3. 03

    Boil potatoes for 12 minutes until tender and drain. Fry onion and cumin in oil, add curry powder and cook 30 seconds.

  4. 04

    Fold through potatoes, peas and lemon juice and cook until dry; mash a few cubes lightly to bind and stir in coriander. Cool completely.

  5. 05

    Heat the oven to 190°C fan. Divide the cooled filling over one half of each pastry circle, leaving a 1 cm border. Dampen edges with water, fold over, press shut and crimp securely with a fork.

  6. 06

    Place on a lined tray, slit each top and bake for 28 minutes until golden and cooked through. Cool at least 8 minutes before eating.
