INSTRUCTIONS

1 For the Seeni Sambol, heat oil in large skillet on medium heat. Add remaining ingredients, stirring to mix well. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover. Cook 15 to 20 minutes until onions are tender and caramelized, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat. Discard cinnamon stick. Set chutney aside.
2 Meanwhile, for the Turnovers, mix ground beef, onion powder, 1 1/2 teaspoons of the salt and pepper in medium bowl. Set aside. Heat oil in large skillet on medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, garlic and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook and stir 5 minutes or until mushrooms are softened and garlic is lightly browned. Remove from heat.
3 Preheat oven to 375°F. Place thawed puff pastry sheets on lightly floured surface. Cut each sheet into 4 squares. Arrange squares on large parchment-lined baking pan. Divide Seeni Sambol mixture evenly among pastry squares. Top with beef mixture, then layer with mushrooms. Fold in 2 opposite corners of pastry to enclose filling, pinching to seal in center. Mix egg and water in small dish, brush pastry with egg wash.
4 Bake 20 minutes until pastry is lightly browned and crisp, and beef is cooked through. Serve immediately.
