Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Line 2 baking sheets with baking paper. Sieve the flour, baking powder, salt and garam masala into a large bowl. Add the butter and rub in until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the ginger, chillies, coriander, egg and buttermilk and mix well to form a soft dough. Roll out on a floured surface to about 2cm thick. Use a 3.5cm plain round cutter to cut out 20 scones, re-rolling the trimmings as you go. Put on the baking sheets.
- Brush each scone with milk, then top half with mustard seeds and the rest with 1 curry leaf. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until risen and golden. Set aside to cool slightly. Halve each scone and sandwich together with the chutney. Serve warm or cold.
