Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 medium potatoes peeled and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon sunflower oil
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 onion peeled and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic peeled and chopped
  • 1 inch piece of ginger peeled and chopped
  • ½ teaspoon turmeric
  • 200 g tinned chickpeas half a standard tin, drained and rinsed
  • ½ tablespoon garam masala
  • Small handful fresh coriander chopped
  • 375 g sheet ready rolled puff pastry
  • Dairy free milk for brushing

Instructions
 

  • First boil two peeled and chopped potatoes in a large pan until soft. Drain and set aside.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 180°C (fan)/200°C/gas mark 6.
  • Heat the oil in a frying pan and add 1 teaspoon cumin seeds and 1 teaspoon mustard seeds. When the mustard seeds start to pop add 1 chopped onion.
  • Reduce the heat, stir well and cook gently until the onion is soft.
  • Add 2 chopped cloves of garlic and a 1 inch piece of ginger, chopped, stir and cook for a further minute. Add ½ teaspoon turmeric, stir and cook well for a further minute.
  • Stir through the two cooked potatoes and ½ tin of chickpeas and mash well. Stir through ½ tablespoon garam masala and chopped fresh coriander if using.
  • Allow the filling to cool slightly.
  • Unroll your sheet of puff pastry. Cut into six squares. Put a spoonful of potato mixture in the centre and fold over. Press the edges tightly together.
  • Brush the pastries with plant-based milk. This isn't essential but will help them to turn more golden brown in the oven.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
