Oriental Veggie Puff Pastry Pasties - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 sheets frozen puff pastry (about 4X6 inches each)
    200 frozen mixed vegetables (I used corn, peas and carrots)
    80 g hummus (homemade or store-bought)
    1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
    1/8 teaspoon chili powder
    salt and black pepper
    1 teaspoon water, for glueing the pastry together
    1 -2 tablespoon plain yogurt for the glaze
Preparation
    Place puff pastry sheets on a paper-lined baking sheet and allow to thaw until pliable (depends on your brand of puff pastry, mine took 5 minutes). Roll out each piece to make it slightly bigger.
    Cook your frozen mixed veggies according to package directions and drain well.
    Mix veggies, hummus and spices in a bowl.
    Place about 2 heaping tbs of the veggie mix on the bottom part of each pastry sheet leaving a space around the edges. Using a brush or your fingers apply some water to the edges of each pastry sheet and fold down the top to make a pocket enclosing the filling.
    Now spread some yogurt (about 1/4-1/2 tbs) on each pastie as a glaze.
    Place in the pre-heated oven and bake at 200\u00b0C/400\u00b0F for 15 minutes or until puffy and brown on top.
    Enjoy!
