- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon chili powder (adjust to taste)
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced

- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup pumpkin seeds
- Salt, to taste
- 2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed

Going Step by Step
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent.
- Add the garlic and ginger to the pan and cook for another minute.
- Sprinkle the cumin, coriander, turmeric, garam masala, and chili powder into the pan. Stir well to coat the onions and garlic with the spices.
- Add the diced potatoes and carrots to the pan. Cook for about 10 minutes, until the vegetables are slightly softened.
- Stir in the frozen peas, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds. Season with salt to taste. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Roll out one sheet of puff pastry and line a greased pie dish with it, leaving some overhang.
- Spoon the vegetable filling into the pie dish, spreading it evenly.
- Roll out the second sheet of puff pastry and place it on top of the filling. Trim any excess pastry and crimp the edges to seal.
- 10. Brush the top of the pie with the beaten egg, creating a shiny glaze.
- 11. Make a few small slits on the top pastry to allow steam to escape.
- 12. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the pie is golden brown and the filling is heated through.
- 13. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before serving.
- Give it a try and enjoy!
