- Preheat oven to 170 C / Gas 3.
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil. Boil the potatoes for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash with milk and butter, if desired.
- Heat oil in a large frying pan until hot. Saute the garlic and onions until fragant, then add the curry powder, cumin and coriander seeds.
- Add peas and curry mixture to the mashed potatoes; mix well.
- Cut pastry in half diagonally so you have two big triangles, spoon mixture in; fold pastry over and press edges together until secure.
- Lightly brush with beaten egg and bake for 30 minutes.
