Equipments:

DOUGH PREPARATION:

• Peel the Irish potatoes and scrape the carrots, wash and cut these two into cubes. boil for about 4/5 mins, drain and leave aside.
• Wash and slice the onions into tiny pieces.
• put 2 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a pot and add the minced meat and stir till the minced meat is cooked then keep aside.
• put another pot on the cooker, put in 4 tablespoon of oil, add the sliced onions, meat carrots and potatoes .
• Add your salt, maggi, and curry and stir properly so everything gets mixed.
•  in half cup of cold water add 3tbs of flour till it is dissolved and add to the meat pie filling.
• Add salt to taste, stir and turn off the hat.

ASSEMBLING:

• oven should be set to 180°c
• use margarine to glaze the pan so your pie does not stick, or if you have baking paper you can just put it on the pan.
• get your dough and place on your table, knead a bit more, using your rolling pin, roll it out to the thickness you want. I like mine a bit heavy.
• before i roll my dough out i usually cut them to smaller pieces. I take a scoop of my filling and place it the middle, i fold one part of the dough to meet the other , then using a fork to press it down.
• I whisk my egg , using my pastry brush i rub the egg on the sealed meatpie. The egg gives it a glossy and golden brown look.
• continue the process till you run out of dough.
• Set the tray in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes. different ovens vary vary but you should be able to tell when it is ready.
