How to make it
- FOR THE SIMPLE PUFF PASTRY:
- Cut the butter into 1/4 inch pieces. Place 1 1/3 cups of the flour and the 1/2 tsp salt in a food processor. Add 1 stick of the cut up butter, pulsing until combined. Add the remaining stick of cut up butter and 1/3 cup of flour to the food processor, tossing the butter pieces until the butter is coated with flour. Pulse 3-4 times to just combine (you want to see specks of butter there still). Add about 1/3 cup ice water and pulse until the dough just forms a ball. If you need to add more water, do so.
- Dust a work surface with flour and roll out to form a 10x14 inch rectangle. Fold into thirds, creating a 3x14 inch rectangle. Fold into thirds again, this time forming a 3x4 inch rectangle. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate at least an hour (dough may be refrigerated up to 2 days or frozen for up to 1 month).
- Heat oil in a frying pan and saute the onion for 2-3 mins over
- moderate heat. Add the ginger, roasted jalapeno, curry powder and turmeric and fry for 30 seconds.
- Add the roasted pumpkin to the pan and stir for 1-2 minutes or until well coated with spices. Add the peas to the pan, stir gently to mix.
- Add lemon juice and adjust seaoning to taste. Remove from the heat and cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 425 deg F. Line 2 oven trays with parchment paper. Cut 4 inch triangles from the rolled out pastry and spoon 1 tablespoon of mix into the center of each. Brush the edges with beaten egg and fold over to enclose the filling.
- Roll and fold the edges to seal. Place the puffs on the trays and brush with the remaining beaten egg. Bake for 25-30 mins until puffed and golden.
