1. Melt the margarine in a pan and gently fry the onions with the curry powder until soft. Add the mushrooms and cook gently for a few minutes. Stir in the flour and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes.
2. Dissolve the stock cube in the water and add to the pan, stirring. Bring to the boil and cook for 2 minutes. Add the chicken to the sauce. Allow to cool.
3. Roll out the pastry thinly on a lightly floured surface, to a large square. Cut into four squares.
4. Divide the filling between each square and fold the corners up to form envelopes. Seal with beaten egg.
5. Place on a dampened baking sheet, brush with beaten egg and bake at 220°C (425°F) mark 7 for about 20 minutes. Eat while hot.
