Instructions

  1. 1

    Warm the oil in a large saucepan. Once hot, add the chopped onions, garlic, curry powder, lime zest and juice, simmering gently until softened, allowing the onions to slightly colour.


  2. 2

    Once at this stage, season with salt, pepper and a generous pinch of sugar. Meanwhile, peel the cooked potatoes and cut into 1 cm dice, seasoning with salt and pepper.


  3. 3

    Stir the cooked potatoes into the cooked onions, allowing them to slightly break, but still maintaining some texture. Re-check for seasonings and leave to cool.


  4. 4

    Roll the pastry sheets so they are a little thinner and approx 1-2 times their original size. Allow to rest for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.


  5. 5

    Divide each of the rolled pastry sheets into 6-8 squares, saving any trimmings. Brush the border of each square with a little of the beaten egg.


  6. 6

    Divide and place a tablespoon of the potato mix onto 1 half of each folding over the remaining half and sealing each together. Refrigerate to rest and firm. The pastry trimmings can now be re-rolled, dividing the sheet into more squares, and continue as above.


  7. 7

    Once firm, using a round cutter, trim to achieve a pasty or turnover semi-circle shape, leaving a slight border around each.


  8. 8

    These can now be brushed with the remaining beaten egg before baking at 180°C-190°C in a fan assisted oven for approx 30-35 minutes or until a crisp golden brown. The puffs are now ready to serve with the mango dip.


  9. 9

    To make the mango yoghurt dip, simply blitz all of the ingredients together in a blender until smooth.
