Had to use up left over puff pastry, so put together individual portions of curried chickpeas and mushrooms wrapped it in puff pasty.
Take the ready rolled puff pastry out of the fridge and allow to warm slightly before using.
Fry the sliced onions, in a little oil then then after a few minutes add the chopped mushrooms and let them sweat for a few minutes, add the chickpeas and a tablespoon of madras curry powder.
Continue cooking until the mushrooms and chickpea mixture has reduced.
Put into a bowl and use a fork to lightly mash together the mixture into a mash. Allow to cool.
Turn the oven on to preheat to 180 and now unroll the puff pastry. Cut out 4 x 4 inch squares.
Put 2 of the squares onto a baking tray. Place as large a pile of the mushroom/chick pea mixture as you can onto the squares leaving at border of puff pastry. Now take another square of puff pastry and lay it over the top of the mixture and seal the 2 layers around the border .
Repeat for the other square. Place them both into the oven and bake until golden brown.
Serve with a salad.
