Instructions

In a non-stick pan without any oil, fry the beef with the onion and potato for 4-5 minutes until brown. Add the curry paste, mango chutney and peas. Cook for a further 2-3 minutes then transfer to a dish.
Preheat the oven to 180-190°C, 160-170°C, Fan, Gas Mark 4-5.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface until it is approximately 15 inches by 15 inches (38 cm by 38 cm). Cut into six pieces by cutting in half lengthways and then cutting each half into 3.
Divide the mince between the six pieces of pastry then brush the edges of each pastry section with a little beaten egg. Fold the corners over to seal to form triangles, pressing them with a fork to seal tightly.
Place the pasties onto a non-stick baking tray and brush all over with egg. Cook in a preheated oven for approximately 20 minutes until risen and golden brown.
Serve with chutney or raita.
