I used a little over half whole wheat flour, some vital wheat gluten and a couple tablespoons of flax seed mill in my double batch experimentation. Also, I only made two of the turnovers with the suggested filling, but added red pepper flakes as another user suggested. I spaced putting my minced garlic into these two, unfortunately, but they were still pretty tasty. I think I would use more curry and be certain to include the garlic next time. I filled the other turnovers with a variety of things, and from the delightful outcomes, I would say the options are limitless. If you have something specific in mind you might consider whether the thyme and rosemary would be complimentary. All in all, I was greatly satisfied with the results and will enjoy further experimenting with the recipe. Thanks for posting!

Thanks- I really enjoyed this recipe. I streamlined the process, added more curry, and less peas to suit my taste. Would have been good as it was, but I needed to change the process so I could have them ready for work today. Start to finish was about 40 minutes and they still turned out great. Can't wait to add this to my OAMC plans!

This turned out good. Used half whole wheat flour. There was a lot of stuffing left over. I added a little extra curry powder and red chili flakes as we like our food spicy. I love that it is low fat. I froze them for lunches on the go, and it reheats great. Thanks for posting.
