You need to mention rolling out the pastry to as thin as 1mm or less, and filling in the round dough and crimping the edges together -- before frying (or oven baking). The turmeric powder adds really good flavour. I'd suggest adding 1 tsp pureed lemongrass during the cooking of the filling as well if you can find it.
