Add spelt flour, sea salt, dates, sugar, and turmeric into a glass bowl.

Sift the mixture through a strainer into the bowl.

Mix the dry ingredients well.

Prepare the egg replacement by mixing flax seeds, coconut oil, sea moss gel, and a little water together until well combined.

Add Earth Balance butter to the egg replacement mixture and mix it together.

Combine the egg replacer with the dry mix and mix thoroughly.

Sprinkle cold water into the mixture while mixing until a dough ball forms, being careful not to pour all at once.

Knead the dough by hand until it is soft but not sticky, adding more flour if necessary.

Divide the dough into about eight equal pieces.

Roll each piece by hand on a floured surface using a rolling pin.

Place one rolled pastry on the cutting board and add chickpea stew as filling.

Fold the pastry over and seal the edges with the back of a fork.

Repeat the rolling and filling process for the remaining pieces, ensuring not to overfill them.

Coat a baking tray with Earth Balance butter and lay the patties on top.

Coat the tops of the patties with more Earth Balance butter before baking.
