1
tablespoon
vegetable oil
Salt to taste
Handful of coriander/spring onions
chopped, any herbs as desired (optional)
Soymilk for glazing
Water as needed to cook
Instructions
To make the dough:
Mix the oil with the flour. Work with the fingers until flour ressembles fine breadcrumbs.
Add water and knead to form a nice and smooth dough. (The dough should not be sticky.)
Divide into 6 balls.
For the filling:
Heat the oil in a non-stick pan. Add onions, garlic, ginger, curry powder and garam masala.
Let roast for about 5 minutes, adding a little water to avoid burning.
Add chickpeas and carrots. Cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add a little water if required.
Mash chickpeas lightly while cooking. (You can mash them more if you prefer. I like them well mashed within the pie).
Add the peas. Add enough water to have a thick consistency (neither watery nor dry).
Add herbs. Add salt to taste.
Remove from heat and allow to cool completely before filling in the pastries.
Make the pies:
To make the pies, roll each ball flat (on a floured surface) to about 14 cm in diameter.
Place some curry on one side, leave enough space around the border.
Fold in half and close by pressing along the edge with a fork.
Glaze with some soy milk and bake for 30 minutes (or until golden) at 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Farenheit) on a baking tray.
Or you can also deep fry them. But do not glaze with soymilk if you are deep frying!
