Step 1

In a large bowl or using a food processor, combine flour, turmeric, salt and sugar.

Step 2

Add butter 1 tbsp. at a time and water in small amounts. Pulse or combine until dough is hydrated and can be formed into a ball.

Step 3

Lay pastry over a non-stick floured surface. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry and refrigerate for 30 - 35 minutes

Step 4

Heat olive oil in a medium saucepan, add onions and sauté until fragrant and translucent; 2 - 3 minutes.

Step 5

Add mushrooms, ginger, garlic powder, curry powder, salt and bullion cube, allow to cook for 5-6 minutes until mushrooms are tender and lightly brown.

Step 6

Transfer remaining ingredients to the pan, stir to combine then simmer together covered for another 5 minutes stirring occasionally. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Place dough on a non-stick floured surface. Cut out an even number (eg 16, 20) of roughly 5 wide inch circles using a pastry cutter or the rim of a cup.

Step 8

Place 2-3 tbsp. of filling onto the center of half the number of the pastry circles. Cover each patty with the remaining circles and seal the edges using your fingers or a fork.

Step 9

Place patties onto a parchment lined baking pan. Apply a light egg wash over each patty and transfer to the oven. Bake patties for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
