Lamb & chickpea hand pies

Lamb & chickpea hand pies

“For a light, crumbly pastry, forget using a food processor – go old-school and use your hands. The addition of chickpea flour gives an extra crumbly-ness to this pastry and the turmeric adds a pop of colour and extra spice. You will need to make the filling in advance, so that it's cooled when you make your pies, otherwise the heat will soften the pastry. These pies can also be filled and refrigerated 24 hours before baking
