Instructions
- Thaw the puff pastry sheet at room temperature for 30 minutes or depending on the instructions given in the pack.
- Preheat oven to 400 degree F and start to make the masala so that once you are done it will be perfect to bake them.
- In a saucepan, combine the chicken with all the above listed ingredients ‘For Chicken Masala’. Cover and cook till the chicken has cooked well and turns light brown. Let it cool; shred the cooked chicken and keep it aside.
- Heat a oil in non-stick pan, add chopped onions and saute till translucent. Add ginger-garlic paste and green chilly, saute for couple of minutes.
- Add the cooked shredded chicken and saute well. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
- Add the chopped coriander leaves and mix well; remove from the heat and keep it aside.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheet and cut into 6 equal pieces, cut through the folds on it and then, cut the three big pieces into two each pieces onto a square shape.
- Take 1 tbsp of cooked masala and keep on the middle of each pastry slice.
- Try to fold the pastry slice diagonally and for the pastry to stick in the center just dab it with some egg wash or water.
Optional :
- Do some egg wash on top of the pastry for some glossy finish, you could even add some sesame seeds on top for a perfect bakery effect.
- Arrange them on a greased baking tray lined with parchment paper.Bake for 15-20 minutes until the top turns golden brown.
- Enjoy your chicken puffs with hot tea or coffee!
Notes :
- Let the chicken masala cool down completely before setting it in the oven, if its done when hot the pastry would be sticky and stretch.
- Temperature setting and cooking time may vary depending on oven so adjust the timing accordingly.
