Soenil: “Purely nostalgic for me. It’s a tasty, quick and easy snack. Full of flavour with a hint of nutmeg, and nutritious too. Truly the kind of dish that evokes the comfort of home.”
How to make the meat pastries
- Preheat the oven to 200 °C.
- Heat the butter in a pan and sauté the onion in it. Add the tomato purée. Then add the minced meat with pepper, salt and nutmeg. Next, add the cumin and masala, and stir everything together well. Then cook the fresh chilli along with it.
- Mix the gherkins, peas, carrots, capers and eggs into the mixture and season with pepper, salt and leaf celery.
- Fill each sheet of puff pastry with the filling. Fold the sheets closed and brush the edges with beaten egg. Press the edges firmly closed with a fork. Brush the pastries with beaten egg and bake them in the preheated oven for 8 minutes until golden brown.
