1 onion chopped fine

2 tablespoons white flour

i used cheddar and emmental cheese.

heat a pan with oil and sautee the onions till pale golden and then add the flour and sautee for a few minutes and add the mushrooms and then the milk. cook till it thickens. add your seasonin, u can also add some tabasco. cool when thick and then mix in your grated cheese.

TO ASSEMBLE

heat the oven to 180 degrees.

take a ball of the pie dough and roll into a small round and fill with ur filling and then close to make a half moon, seal verry well or else filling seaps out while baking. make all ur pies this way and then bake on a baking sheet till golden.

U CAN ALSO USE PUFF PASTRY. but remember puff pastry is full of fat..... and u dotn get it in inida.

this keeps verry well. u can take it on picnics...

DONT EAT TOO MANY COZ U HAVE TO MAKE THEM AGAIN AND AGAIN!!!!
