4. Add the diced potatoes and carrots, then add a cup of water, also add the seasoning cubes, thyme, curry powder, garlic powder and salt to taste, cover and let it cook till the vegetables are soft
5. While that’s cooking, mix 2 tablespoons of flour with 1/2 cup of water, mix till you get a milky consistency and set aside. - When the vegetables are well cooked, add the flour and water mixture, mix thoroughly…
6. Now switch the heat off and let it continue to simmer with the residual heat for 2-3 minutes
7. The dough method
8. Mix the flour, baking powder and salt together then sift to get rid of clumps…

14. Now knead for a bit, be careful not to over knead. Now cut the dough into smaller pieces and roll. Get yourself a dough cutter or just a saucepan lid and cut out circles. The size of the circle will depend on your intended pie size
15. Now scoop up 1-2 tablespoons of filling unto the middle of the cut out dough; making sure there’s enough room to seal it up.
16. Now, rub the egg mixture on the edges of the dough, this will help seal it up properly Now close it up and use a fork to press down the edge, you can also use meatpie cutter
17. Repeat the same process with the remaining dough, rolling, cutting and filling till you’ve exhausted your dough and filling then place all your pies all on the baking tray and lightly glaze the top of each pie with the whisked egg.Now place the tray in the pre heated oven and bake for 30-40 minutes.
