• Divide the pastry into 8 pieces. On a lightly floured surface, roll 1 piece out to form a circle about 10 inches in diameter. Spoon one-eighth of the curried vegetable mixture into the center, and gather the pastry up to form a bundle, pinching the pastry together to hold it in place. Trim the ragged ends from the top of the pastry bundle. Repeat with the remaining pastry and filling. Use the pastry trimmings to make leaf and berry shapes and decorate the bundles, sticking them on with some of the beaten egg. Brush the bundles all over with the egg, lift them carefully onto the baking sheet, and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the filling is heated through. Serve immediately on salad greens, garnished with tomato wedges.
