Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
Peel and chop the onion finely. Dice the potatoes and carrots. Cut the cauliflower into small florets.
In a large skillet or pot over medium heat, sauté the finely chopped onion until soft and translucent.
Add the curry paste to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring continuously to release the flavors.
Add the diced potatoes, carrots, and cauliflower florets to the skillet. Stir well to coat the vegetables in the curry paste.
Add enough water to the skillet to just cover the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
In a small bowl, mix the heavy cream, Greek yogurt, and corn flour until smooth.
Pour the cream and yogurt mixture into the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 5 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut it into rounds or squares slightly larger than the tops of your pot pie dishes.
Spoon the curried vegetable mixture into individual oven-safe dishes or ramekins. Place the puff pastry over the top of each dish. Press the edges of the pastry down to seal the edges.
Brush the beaten egg over the top of the puff pastry to give it a golden, glossy finish.
Place the pot pies on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed up.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious curried vegetable pot pies!
