Heat oil in a wide frying pan at medium. Add the cumin seeds, mustard and curry leaves and let it cook in the oil until the mustard seeds splutter. Now add the beans and carrots. Saute for a few seconds and let it cook for 4-5 minutes.
Now add the cabbage and mix well. Cook for a couple of minutes and add the green chillies. Add all of the powdered spices except for the garam masala and aamchur powder. Mix well and add a cup of water.Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook in medium low heat for 8-10 minutes.
Once all the water has evaporated, add the garam masala and the aamchur powder. mix well. After a couple of minutes add a pinch of hing and cilantro. Turn off the heat and keep aside.
Preheat oven to 400 deg F. Divide the pastry sheet in to 4 equal parts. Spoon the filling on one side of the sheet ensuring there is equal filling in all four of them. Fold over the other side of the sheet and press down on the 3 open sides. Use a fork to crimp.
Carefully place the filled pastry sheets on a lined sheet pan making sure there is enough space around them to 'grow'. Place in the oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown or as per pastry package instructions.
Remove and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
- Make sure there is enough space around the edges to be able to close the pastry sheet and seal it. This is important to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- Use a fork to easily crimp the edges
- Ensure all the extra moisture is cooked off from the filling else it might make the puff pastry soggy.
