Ingredients

3 Potatoes
2 Puff Pastry
1/2 tsp Coriander Powder
2 Hot Green Pepper (small)
1/2 Cup Red Onion (or yellow onion, small diced)
2-3 Garlic (about 1/2 teaspoon, minced)
1/2 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Powder
1/2 tsp Turmeric
5-6 tbsp Cilantro
1/2 Cup Green Peas
1 Egg(s) (Well Beaten)

Directions

1. Preheat oven at 400 degree F. Boil a pot full of water. Peel and dice potatoes into 1/2 inch squares and pour in boiling water till potatoes are fork tender.
2. Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onions and fry till translucent. Add finely minced garlic and continue frying for 1 more minute. Add turmeric powder and red pepper powder and fry for 2 minutes.
3. Now add boiled potatoes and salt. Fry till potatoes are slightly mushy. Mix in coriander powder, thyme, chopped fresh green chilli peppers , chopped fresh cilantro and blanched sweet green peas. Mix well and allow potatos mixture to cool down (room temprature)
4. Cut 4" by 4" squares of pastry sheet. Place a heapful teaspoon of potato mixture in the centre and fold diagonally, pinching at the edges to create turnovers (triangle in shape)
5. Place puff pastry turnovers on baking sheet / silicon mat lined baking tray leaving 1" space between adjacent puff pastry turnovers. Brush egg on the open side of turnovers for golden brown turnovers.
6. Bake at 425° F for 15 minutes or till puff pastry turnovers are golden brown and flaky.

Additional Notes:
The oven must be preheated to a high temperature, usually 400° to 450° F. If the oven is not hot, the butter will melt and the moisture will evaporate before steam can create layers.

Savita's Recipe Notes:

To handle Puff Pastry dough, always work on a lightly floured surface. If using homemade dough, take a piece and roll it out to the thickness of 3-4 sheets of copier paper. If using commercial puff pastry, thaw it on kitchen counter for 30 minutes or in refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
