Method
-
To make filling, heat oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft. Add beef. Cook, stirring to break up mince, for about 5 minutes, or until browned. Add curry powder, chutney and flour. Cook, stirring, for 1 minute.

Add vegetables, stock cube and water. Bring to boil. Gently boil, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until thickened. Season. Transfer to a bowl. Refrigerate, covered, until cold.
-
Cut pastry sheets into square quarters.
-
Working with one square at a time, place 2 level tblsps of filling in the centre. Brush edges with water. Bring two opposite corners of pastry up to meet at the top to form a triangle. Press edges together to seal. Twist edge to form a crimp across the top.
-
Place on two large oven trays lined with baking paper. Brush with egg. Sprinkle with seeds.
-
Cook in a hot oven (200C), swapping trays halfway, for about 20 minutes, or until golden brown.

Serve hot with extra chutney.
