2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 tbsp garlic and ginger paste

1 large red potato, peeled, finely chopped

1 medium carrot, finely chopped

½ cup frozen peas

2 tsp curry powder

1 tsp ground cumin

Method

Step 1

FILLING: Heat oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add onion, paste, potato and carrot. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 mins, or until potato is tender and golden. Add peas, curry powder and cumin. Cook, stirring, for about 2 mins, or until fragrant. Cool. Refrigerate until cold.

Cut pastry sheets into square quarters. Cut each diagonally into two triangles.

Step 3

Holding one piece of pastry at a time, fold one corner over to the other corner to form a triangle. Press edge of one side together to form a cone shape. Spoon in 1 tbsp filling. Press open side together to enclose filling. Seal both sides with a fork. Repeat with remaining pastry and filling.
