4. Add in your yogurt and stir through..

6. Spoon your mixture evenly over the squares and leave a border of 1-1 ½cm..
7. On the other sheets of pastry, slit holes. Make them even, not too wide. I made them just under 2" long, on alternating sides. Make sure to leave a border around the edge uncut..

10. Press the edges together and make sure they're sealed..
11. Brush the top with egg and bake for 20 minutes..
12. Serve and enjoy!.

Lay the cut sides flat on a board and thinly slice. Very finely slice the lemongrass, starting at the thinner end, stopping towards the base when it gets tough (often described as 'woody' and white in the centre). Press edges firmly to seal, brush tops with egg. Insert a chilli into each pie. Hubby doesn't like all the dough.
