Ingredients

Marinate chicken:

  • 500 g chicken I used boneless
  • ½ teaspoon ground turmeric turmeric powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • ½ teaspoon red chili powder
  • Salt to taste

Chicken mixture:

  • 2 tablespoon oil
  • 1 cup onions finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon minced ginger ginger paste
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic garlic paste
  • 2 green chilies chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric turmeric powder
  • 2 teaspoon ground coriander coriander powder
  • 1 teaspoon garam masala
  • 1 and ½ teaspoon ground fennel fennel powder

Chicken puff:

  • 3 ready-rolled puff pastry sheets thawed
  • 1 egg lightly beaten

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 200C / 400F. Line 2 baking trays with parchment paper.
  • Place chicken, ground turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala and red chili powder in a bowl. Season with salt. Coat chicken in the spices. Pan fry chicken. (Alternatively, cook chicken in a pressure cooker). Reserve the cooking liquid. Allow chicken to cool slightly. Shred. Set aside.
  • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onions, ginger, garlic and green chilies. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 minutes or until onions are soft. Add ground turmeric, ground coriander, garam masala and fennel powder. Sauté, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  • Stir in shredded chicken. Stir fry for 1 minute. If the mixture is too dry, add a little reserved cooking liquid, and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool slightly. Set aside.
  • Place thawed puff pastry sheet on a flat surface. Cut each sheet into 6 rectangles. Place 2 tablespoon of chicken mixture in the middle of each rectangle. Fold the rectangle into halves. Seal edges using water. Press down with fingers to seal properly.
  • Transfer pastries on to the prepared baking trays. Leave a little space between them. Brush with beaten egg. Bake for 20-30 minutes.
