1 Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Line two large baking trays with non-stick parchment paper.

2 Heat the oil in a saucepan over a medium heat and cook the onion and pepper for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the garlic, season with salt and and pepper and cook for one minute

3 Add the mince and cook for 6-8 minutes until it is browned all over and no pink parts remain, breaking up any lumps using a wooden spoon.

4 Add the cumin and paprika and stir for one minute. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook for 3-4 minutes. Season well, then remove from the heat and allow to cool.

5 Roll the pastry out on a work surface. Using a 9cm round pastry cutter, cut out 12 discs of pastry.

6 Put one tablespoon of filling on half of each pastry circle. Brush the edge with beaten egg, then fold the pastry over the filling and use a fork to seal the edges. Brush the top with egg and place on one of the prepared baking trays. Repeat with the remaining filling and pastry circles.

7 Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Serve with sour cream.
