1. To make the pastry, mix the all-purpose flour and salt in a large bowl. Add 100 grams of solid coconut oil and mix with your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
2. Gradually add cold water, a little at a time, mixing until a firm dough forms. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for at least 20 minutes.
3. In the meantime, prepare the filling: peel the potato and carrot, then dice both into small cubes.
4. Finely chop the onion and garlic cloves.
5. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
6. Add the garlic, cumin, turmeric, coriander, and chili powder, stirring for an additional 2 minutes until fragrant.
7. Add the diced potato and carrot, stirring well to coat with the spice mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Add the peas, soy sauce, and black pepper. Cover and cook for another 8-10 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
9. Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F).
10. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to about 3mm thickness. Using a round cutter or a bowl, cut circles about 12cm in diameter.
11. Place a spoonful of the cooled filling in the center of each pastry circle. Fold the pastry in half to enclose the filling and crimp the edges with a fork to seal the puff.
12. Place the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
13. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is crisp and golden brown.
14. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve warm.
