Curried Pasties

Great for dinners or lunch boxes.



Ingredients

300g potatoes, chopped into cubes
100g peas
2tsp oil
1 onion, sliced
2-3 tsp of any curry paste, depending how spicy you like things
1 tsp black mustard seeds
juice of 1/2 lemon
fresh coriander
375g ready made puff pastry
1 egg

Method

Heat oven to 200 °C/ GM 6

Boil potatoes for 8 mins in water.
Add peas in the final minute
Fry onion.
Add curry paste and black mustard seeds.  I couldn't find black mustard seeds in either Dunnes or Tesco so I recommend going to an ethnic food shop.  They are usually much cheaper, so stock up on other spices while you there.
Stir in potatoes, lemon and chopped coriander.
I am lazy and use the sheets of ready-made puff pastry.  Roll out the sheets so they are a little larger and cut 4 rectangles.
Place filling to one side, not too much and fold over.
Use egg wash to seal the edges and brush over the top.
Place on baking tray with either silicone sheet or baking paper.
Bake for 20 min and serve with chutney.

  2. Try the Oriental supermarket on Henry Street or there is a little ethnic shop next to Silkes on Roches Street. Let me know if you are successful.
