Cover the dough with a cloth and let it rest for about 1 hour.

Place a wide saucepan on a medium heat, add oil and sweat the onions until soft. Stir in the chopped peppers, tomatoes and garlic, season, and cover with a lid. Cook on a medium heat until they are caramelised and most of the liquid has evaporated. Stir in the curry powder and chopped coriander.

Whilst the vegetables are cooking, remove the skins from the potato and grate into a large bowl. Season with salt and pepper.

Add the cooked vegetables to the grated potato and stir until everything is combined evenly.

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll out the ball into a circle on a board. Place a portion of the potato filling on one half of the circle, leaving a border around the edges. Fold the other half of the circle over the filling, pressing the edges to seal up.
