If necessary add more cold water, a teaspoon at a time.

Wrap the dough in a muslin cloth or in a Clingfilm.
Chill for 15-30 minutes.

Heat oil add onions and saute for 5 minutes, until translucent and beginning to brown.
Add the mushrooms, pumpkin, bottle gourd, zucchini, green chilli, garlic, cinnamon powder, salt and pepper.

Lower heat and cover the pan.
Cook, stirring occasionally, till the vegetables are just done (do not over cook).

Add the potato, basil, lime juice and coriander leaves.

Method for the Pasty

Divide the pastry dough into 4 portions.

Divide the filling into 4 equal portions.

Roll each round into thin disc of 6ā€ to 7ā€ inches.

Place one portion of the filling in the centre of one disc.

Brush the edges with a little water.

Fold over the disc, so the two edges meet and it becomes a semicircle or a ā€œDā€ shape.

Seal the edges with pinching or crimping.

Do so with the other 3 portions.

Arrange the pasties on a greased baking sheet.

Bake it in a preheated oven at 200 degree C for 30 minutes or bake until the pastries are golden brown.
