Ingredients

300g potatoes, peeled and cut into small pieces
100g frozen peas
2 tsp oil
1 onion, sliced
1-2 tsp curry paste (any type)
1 tsp black mustard seeds
Juice ½ lemon
a handful of coriander, chopped
375g package of ready-rolled puff pastry
1 egg, beaten

Preparation steps

Heat a large pot of water, add the potatoes, then cook until just tender, 8 minutes. Add the peas 1 minute before the end of the cooking time. Drain and then set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan. Sauté the onion until soft and lightly colored. Add the curry paste and mustard seeds and fry for a few more minutes until the mixture is fragrant. Gently stir in the potatoes and peas, being careful not to mash them. Add lemon juice and coriander and let cool.
Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan 180°C/gas. 6. Roll out the dough rectangle, place it on a floured surface with the long side facing you and roll it out a little more to make a square shape. Cut into 4 squares, then cut each in half to make 8 long rectangles. Place four of them on a baking tray, brush the edges with beaten egg and place a quarter of the filling in the middle of each. Place the remaining dough on top and pinch the edges together to form a sealed packet. Brush with more egg and then bake for 20 minutes, until golden brown and puffed up. If cooking from frozen, bake for 30 minutes.
Serve with fresh green salad and a spoonful of chutney.

Health Benefits of Curry Potato Pies

Curry potato pies are not only delicious but also offer several health benefits.

potatoes

Potatoes form the base of these pies and are a good source of complex carbohydrates. They are rich in fiber, which aids digestion and helps maintain regular bowel movements. Potatoes are also rich in several important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, potassium and vitamin B6. Vitamin C supports a healthy immune system, potassium is crucial for maintaining proper heart function, and vitamin B6 plays an important role in brain development.

Peas

Adding a portion of peas to your curry potato pies will increase their nutritional value. Peas are low in fat and high in fiber, which promotes satiety and helps with weight control. They are also a good source of plant-based protein, making them an excellent option for vegetarians and vegans. Peas contain vitamins A, C and K as well as important minerals such as iron and manganese.

Curry paste

The curry paste used in this recipe not only adds flavor but also offers some potential health benefits. Many curry pastes contain herbs and spices like turmeric, cumin, and coriander, which are known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Turmeric in particular contains curcumin, a compound with powerful antioxidant effects that may have positive effects on various health conditions.

Mustard seeds

Mustard seeds are a small but delicious ingredient in curry potato pies. They are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids, which promote heart health and reduce inflammation in the body. These seeds also contain nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus and selenium, which support bone health, energy production and antioxidant activity.

lemon juice and coriander

Adding lemon juice and coriander not only improves the taste but also adds to the nutritional value. Lemon juice is a rich source of vitamin C and antioxidants that strengthen the immune system and protect against oxidative stress. Cilantro, on the other hand, is a good source of fiber, iron and manganese and offers potential digestive and anti-inflammatory benefits.

In summary, curried potato pies can be a healthy addition to your diet. With the goodness of potatoes, peas, curry paste, mustard seeds, lemon juice and coriander, these pies offer a range of essential nutrients and potential health benefits. Be sure to enjoy them in moderation with other nutrient-dense foods for a well-rounded and nutritious meal.
