30ml (2 tbsp) oil
1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
2.5cm (1in) fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
150g (5oz) carrots, peeled and cut into small cubes
300g (10½oz) potato, peeled and cut into small cubes
100g (3½oz) peas
2.5ml (½ tsp) turmeric powder
5ml (1 tsp) chilli powder
5ml (1 tsp) garam masala
5ml (1 tsp) salt
2 x 320g (11oz) rolled puff pastry sheets
1 egg, beaten
flour, for dusting
30g (1oz) coriander leaves

Steps:

  • Using a large saucepan, gently fry the onion in the oil for 5 minutes or until soft and translucent.
  • Add the garlic and ginger and continue to fry for another minute while stirring.
  • Tip in the potatoes and carrots, give it a stir, then add a splash of water and cover with a lid. Continue to cook the vegetables on a medium heat for 10 minutes, or until cooked.
  • Stir in the peas, turmeric, chilli powder, garam masala and salt. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°C / 180°C fan / 390°F / gas mark 6.
  • Dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to 1cm (1/2in) thick.
  • Cut the pastry into even squares.
  • Divide the vegetable filling evenly between the squares. Be careful not to overfill them, so you might have some filling leftover, which can be enjoyed as a side dish to a later meal.
  • Brush the edges with egg.
  • Pick two diagonal corners of each pastry, then let one corner overlap the other. Pinch together so that they stay put. Repeat the process until all of them have been done.
  • Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash, then place them on a greased baking sheet.
  • Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
  • Place the pastries on a cooling rack.
  • Serve warm as a snack or as part of a main meal with salad. Enjoy!

Categories     Pastries

Time 45m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup water
¼ cup unsalted butter
1 pinch salt
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
½ cup cold whipping cream
1 teaspoon white sugar
12 large strawberries, hulled
1 tablespoon powdered sugar, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place a mixing bowl in the freezer.
  • Combine water, butter, and salt in a saucepan; bring to a boil.
  • Remove from the heat and immediately add flour; quickly beat in the flour with a wooden spoon, alternating between pressing on the dough and beating it quickly. Continue until dough has formed a ball and no longer sticks to the side of the pan.
  • Add 1 egg, and using the same technique above, beat it in until dough has reached a smooth consistency. Repeat with the second egg. Beat until dough begins to break into strands, about 5 more minutes.
  • Divide dough into 12 pieces. Round each piece and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puffed up and browned, about 20 minutes. Remove and cool on a wire rack.
  • Meanwhile, pour cold cream into the chilled mixing bowl. Add white sugar and beat with a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
  • Slice across the tops of the cooled cream puffs just enough to open; they will be hollow inside. Put a heaping tablespoon whipped cream in the top and bottom cavities. Put a strawberry in the middle and close the two halves. Set on a plate and dust with powdered sugar.
