- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 tbsp tomato puree
- 500 g minced meat

- 2 sprigs of celery finely chopped
- 8 sheets of puff pastry
- 1 beaten egg
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (392 degrees Fahrenheit)
- Heat the oil in a frying pan and cook the onion until softened. Add the tomato puree and stir well. Then add the minced meat, pepper, salt and nutmeg, cumin and masala. Stir well and cook until the minced meat is browned and crumbly.
