Ingredients

Units Scale

CURRY BEEF FILLING

  • 500 g ground beef
  • 1 large onion, chopped into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium carrot, diced into 1/4 inch pieces
  • 2 tablespoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1 teaspoon tomato paste
  • 1/2 cup beef or chicken broth
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 2/3 cup peas, frozen
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water

PASTRY

  • 2 sheets frozen flaky pastry, thawed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Defrost your pastry sheets.

CURRY BEEF FILLING

  • In a large pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and carrots, and sauté until they start to soften.
  • Add the ground beef, breaking it apart with a spatula. Cook until slightly pink. Stir in the curry powder, cumin, turmeric, tomato paste, broth, soy sauce, sugar, salt and pepper. Cook for 1 minute. Add the green peas and cook for 2-3 more minutes.
  • In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and water, then pour into the pan. Quickly stir well until the filling thickens. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.

ASSEMBLY

  • Divide each pastry sheet into 6 pieces. If the pieces not square, use a floured rolling pin to roll each piece on a floured surface into a square. Spoon the 2-3 tablespoon of filling onto one corner of a pastry sheet (visualize a diagonal line across the square). Don’t overfill to prevent leakage.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle. Press the edges together, then use a fork to crimp the edges and seal them.
  • Gently place the assembled puffs on the baking sheet. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry has puffed up and is a beautiful golden brown.
