- 3 sticks Lemongrass, Chopped
- 1/2 pounds, 78 ounces, weight Frozen Peas
- 1 pinch Salt To Taste
- 1 cup, 2-23 teaspoons, 78 pinches Coconut Milk
- 1 cup, 2-23 teaspoons, 78 pinches Water
- 1- 1/2 ounces, weight Butter (for The Muffin Tray)
- 1 pinch Flour
- 2 bags Puff Pastry, About 400 Grams Each
- 1 bunch Chives, Chopped

- 1 whole Egg, Beaten
- Put a wok over medium fire and wait until its hot, then add the oil.
- Immediately add the green curry paste and stir for about a minute.
- Add the ground turkey and stir until you get rid of any big lumps and the meat is mostly brown.
- Add the onion, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, peas and salt and give it all a good stir.
- Add the coconut milk and the water and let it simmer for about 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, butter a muffin tray (or a pie dish).
- Sprinkle a bit of flour on a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry.
- Cut out circles for the bottom of the muffins and cut slightly smaller circles for the tops.
- Put the bigger circles into the bottom of the muffin cups and press with your fingers so the dough takes the shape of each individual muffin cup.
- Back to the filling, add the chopped chives and the basil (fresh is great but dry works too).
- Check to see if the peas are completely cooked through.
- If ready, turn off the fire and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Scoop the filling into each muffin cup until almost full (about 3 tablespoons).
- Place the smaller dough tops on the muffins and pinch together the lid and the sides of the muffins.
- Glaze with the beaten egg, cut a small x on the top of the muffins and place into hot oven.
- Bake at about 210 C for 15 minutes or until golden.
