5. Cook until the tomatoes are softened and the spices are well incorporated. 

6. Add chopped coriander leaves and mix thoroughly. 

7. Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). 

8. Now, take the puff pastry sheet and cut it into 6 equal parts. 

9. Place a portion of the prepared masala in the centre of each rectangular pastry sheet. 

10. Brush some water along the pastry sheet's edges to help seal. 

11. Fold each corner of the pastry sheet towards the centre, overlapping them to form a seal. 

12. Place the prepared pastries on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. 

13. Gently brush the beaten egg over the sealed puff pastries. 

14. Bake them in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the top layer turns golden brown. 

15. Once baked, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
