Pro Cooking Tips
- Chill the pastry before baking to help it stay flaky and prevent it from shrinking.
- Brush the pastry with an egg wash for a golden and shiny finish.
Step 1
In a bowl, combine the flour, salt, and clarified butter. Mix everything well, then slowly add water and knead until you get a firm dough. Keep kneading for about 10 minutes. Once smooth, brush a bit of oil on top, cover it, and let it rest for 20 minutes.
Step 2
Heat some oil in a pan, then add ginger-garlic paste and cook for a minute until fragrant. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until it turns white.
Step 3
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, cumin, chili flakes, and chili powder. Stir well, add a little water, cover, and let it simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.
Step 4
After 10 minutes, toss in the onions, chilies, and coriander leaves. Mix everything together and turn off the heat.
Step 5
Divide the rested dough into 4 equal pieces. Make a paste by mixing some clarified butter with flour.
Step 6
Take one dough ball, flatten it, brush with the butter-flour paste, sprinkle a little flour, then fold and roll it out. Cut the roll in half, flatten one piece, add some chicken filling, and seal the edges.
Step 7
Repeat with the other pieces until all are stuffed and sealed.
Step 8
Heat oil for frying and cook each pastry on low heat for about 20 minutes until golden and crispy. Serve warm with your favorite sauce.
