Makes 9 turnovers

INGREDIENTS

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 teaspoon cumin seeds
1 (9-to-10-ounce) package frozen petite peas
¼ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons Green Chutney, or store-bought (sold as cilantro or mint chutney)
1 tablespoon Tamarind Chutney, or store bought
1 pound frozen puff pastry, thawed
1 egg whisked with a pinch of salt, for glaze

DIRECTIONS

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Combine the oil and cumin in large frying pan over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until the cumin begins to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peas and the salt, and cook, covered, until the peas soften, 5 to 6 minutes. Remove from the heat, and stir in the chutneys. Let cool.

Lay a sheet of puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Cut the sheet into the thirds along the lines of the folds. Roll out one-third to a 6-by 12-inch rectangle. Cut the rectangle crosswise into third to make three smaller rectangles. Brush all around the edges of each with egg glaze. Spoon a generous tablespoon of peas in the center. Fold the top of the rectangle down so that it meets the bottom layer 1 to 1½ inches above the bottom edge and makes a triangle. Fold the bottom up, and tuck the overhang over. Press gently to seal. Put on a baking sheet, and brush with the egg glaze. Repeat to make two more turnovers. Then roll out, and fill six more turnovers.

Bake until crisp, 18 to 20 minutes. Serve hot.
