Ingredients
- 1 large potato
- 1 tbsp vegetable or sunflower oil
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp coriander seeds, crushed
- 1 tsp turmeric
- 226g pack paneer, grated
- 100g piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
- 120g frozen peas
- 25g coriander, leaves only, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp garam masala
- 1 tsp fine salt, or to taste
- 320g pack ready rolled puff pastry
- 2 free range mixed size egg yolks
- 1 tbsp nigella or poppy seeds
- 3 tbsp Cooks’ Ingredients Tamarind Paste
- 6 tbsp tomato ketchup
Method
Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Peel the potato, then cut into evenly sized chunks and boil for 12-15 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash. Add the oil to a frying pan, then gently fry the onion for 5-6 minutes with a pinch of salt until soft. Add the coriander seeds, fry for 2 minutes more, then remove from the heat and stir in 1/2 tsp turmeric. Leave to cool.
If the mashed potato is very wet, warm in a dry saucepan for 3-4 minutes – mixing constantly – to evaporate the liquid. Add the dry mash to a large bowl with the paneer, ginger, peas, coriander, garam masala, salt and the cooled spiced onions. Mix well.
Unroll the pastry and cut in half lengthways. Using your hands, form a long sausage with half the filling – about 3cm in diameter – that covers the length of one of the pieces of pastry.
Place the sausage in the middle of the pastry and pinch the pastry together along the connecting seam. Using a fork, press indentations along the seam to seal tightly, then use a sharp knife to slice into 12 equal sausage rolls. Repeat with the other half of the filling and pastry.
Place the sausage rolls, spread apart, on a large, baking parchment-lined baking sheet, then brush with a glaze of the egg yolks, beaten with the remaining turmeric. Sprinkle nigella or poppy seeds over the top, then bake for 18-20 minutes, until deep golden brown and the filling is piping hot. Serve with a sauce made by mixing together the ketchup and tamarind paste. Delicious hot or cold.
