Preparation
  • 1
    To make the filling: Heat the oil in a saucepan, then add the ginger and all the vegetables except the sweetcorn. Let them sweat for 10 minutes until they're just tender.
  • 2
    Add the MAGGI Rich & Rustic Tomato Sauce, water, and spices. Cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the flavours to come together.
  • 3
    Remove from the heat, add the sweetcorn, and let the mixture cool down.
  • 4
    To make the pastry: In a food processor, combine plain flour, turmeric, and diced butter. Blitz until the mixture looks like fine breadcrumbs.
  • 5
    Add the cold water in thirds and briefly process until it comes together as a dough.
  • 6
    Roll the dough into a ball, cover it with cling film, and let it chill for 30 minutes.
  • 7
    To make the patties: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) .

    Roll the pastry out to a thickness of ½cm and cut 8cm discs.
  • 9
    Spoon the filling mixture equally among the pastry discs, covering only one half of each disc and leaving a 1cm border around the edge.
  • 10
    Brush the edges of the pastry lightly with beaten egg, then fold the free half of each disc over the filled half and seal by pressing down on the edges with a fork.
  • 11
    Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

Serve these tasty patties with a spicy tomato, chilli and red onion salsa.
