• onion, finely chopped - 1 medium
• garlic, minced - 2 cloves
• ginger, grated - 1 teaspoon
• soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
• hoisin sauce - 1 tablespoon
• carrot, diced - 1 small
• green peas - 50 grams
• coriander powder - 1 teaspoon
• cumin powder - 1 teaspoon
• black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon

• fresh coriander, chopped - 2 tablespoons
• ready-made puff pastry - 250 grams
• egg, beaten - 1 for egg wash

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat and sauté the chopped onion until translucent.
3. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another minute until fragrant.
4. Stir in the diced lamb and cook until browned on all sides.
5. Add the diced carrot, green peas, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, coriander powder, cumin powder, black pepper, and salt. Mix well and cook for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh coriander. Allow the filling to cool slightly.
7. Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into two circles (about 20 cm in diameter).
8. Place one pastry circle on a baking tray lined with parchment paper.
9. Spoon the lamb filling onto the center of the pastry, leaving a border around the edges.
10. Cover with the second pastry circle, pressing the edges to seal, and make a few slits on top for steam to escape.
11. Brush the top with beaten egg for a golden finish.
12. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
13. Let the pie cool slightly before serving.
