Minced Beef Curry Pie

Wishing you a Happy New Year!  Do have a blessed 2013!  May all your wishes and dreams come true!

To kick off the new year, this is the simple way of preparing beef curry puff.  Instead of making them individually, I just put everything in a casserole dish.  I got this idea from a lady friend who is also a good cook!


Ingredients:
500 g minced beef
5 - 6 large potatoes, to be peeled and cut into cubes
1 large onion, to be cut in cubes
3 tbsp meat curry powder, to be mixed with a little water to form a paste
salt to taste
2 rolls of puff pastry
egg yolk for glaze

Method:
Heat a little oil in a pot and add onion cubes. Stir-fry until translucent. Then, add minced beef and stir-fry until it changes colour.

Add in curry paste and stir-fry for about 5 minutes. Then, add in potato cubes and stir well. Cover pot and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes or until potatoes are almost cooked. Check seasoning.

Butter a casserole dish and place a roll or a big sheet of puff pastry to cover the base and sides. Add minced meat filling and spread well. Cover with the remaining roll of puff pastry, making sure the sides are sealed by folding them over the top pastry. Brush top with egg yolk and make a few holes by using a fork. Bake in a preheated fan oven at 180° C for about half an hour or until the top is golden brown.


Bon Appetit!
