method

1. In a bowl mix together the easy blend dried yeast and 100 g (4 oz) flour.

2. Warm the milk until tepid and add to the flour and yeast mixture, stirring well.

3. If using fresh yeast, mix it to a paste with a little of the warm milk and then add the remaining milk and half the flour.

4. Cover and leave in a warm place for 40 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, begin to make the filling.

6. Put the corn oil into a saucepan and heat gently.

7. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, then add the curry powder, cumin, coriander, ginger and turmeric and cook for 2 minutes.

8. Mix in the lemon juice and remove from the heat.

9. When the flour mixture has risen, add the egg, reserving a little for glazing, corn oil, remaining flour and salt.

10. Knead the dough on a lightly floured surface for 10 minutes.

11. Roll the dough out very thinly to a 40.5 x 30.5 cm (16 x 12 inch) rectangle and cut into twelve 10 cm (4 inch) squares.

12. Spoon the onion mixture into a bowl and add all the vegetables.

13. Place 15 ml (1 tbsp) of the filling slightly off-centre on each of the dough squares.

14. Moisten two adjacent edges of each square with water and fold the unmoistened corner over to form a triangle.

15. Press the edges I down firmly to seal them.

16. Prick the top of each patty with a fork, brush with remaining egg and 1 bake at 200°C (400°f) mark 6 for 25 minutes.
