Carrot & Balti Paste Puff Pastry Tart
The Oddbox Balti Curry Paste makes a great tart base. Simply spread the paste over puff pastry, top with vegetables, and bake until golden and crispy. We love it with carrots, but you can use other vegetables such as parsnips, butternut squash, pumpkin, mushrooms, and Brussels sprouts.
Substitutes:
- No carrots? Use other vegetables instead, such as mushrooms, Brussels sprouts, butternut squash, pumpkin or parsnips.
- No coriander? Use parsley or basil instead.
- Vegan? Use vegan puff pastry instead and dairy free milk instead of the egg.
- Gluten free? Use gluten free puff pastry instead.

Servings: 2
Ingredients:
4 Carrot
100 g Oddbox balti curry paste
250 g Puff pastries
1 tbsp Olive oil
Salt & pepper
1 Egg (lightly beaten ) / Flax egg
For serving:
30 g Rocket
10 g Fresh coriander
Recipe:
- Scrub the carrots clean then cut them in half lengthwise. Steam or blanch in salted boiling water for 10 minutes, until just tender.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/Gas mark 4. Line a large baking tray with baking paper. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it into a rectangle to fit the baking tray. Score a smaller rectangle inside, leaving a 2 cm border, taking care not to cut the pastry all the way through. Keep the pastry in the fridge until ready for the next step.
- Add the carrots to a bowl, along with olive oil and a pinch of both salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
- Spread the Balti Curry Paste all over the inside rectangle of the puff pastry.
- Top with the carrots and egg wash the puff pastry border. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the carrots cooked through and lightly caramelised. Serve hot or cold with fresh coriander and a side of salad.
