Ingredients

  • Puff Pastry Sheets Ready Made
  • 500 g Chicken
  • 2 tbsp Oil
  • 200 ml Double Cream
  • 1 Onion
  • 1/2 Bell Pepper
  • 1 tsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Chilli Powder
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Tandoori Masala
  • 1 tsp Cumin Powder
  • 1 tsp Oregano
  • 1 tbsp Tomato Puree
  • Sesame Seeds Garnish

Instructions

  • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add onions and bell pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften.
  • Add garlic paste to the pan and sauté for 1 minute, letting it infuse the oil.
  • Add the chicken to the pan and cook until it changes color, about 6-8 minutes.
  • Stir in the spices (chilli powder, black powder, tandoori masala, cumin powder, oregano, salt). Cook for 3-4 minutes to let the flavors blend.
  • Add the double cream and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency.
  • Cut the pre-rolled puff pastry sheets into rectangles of your desired size.
  • Spoon the chicken mixture onto the center of each puff pastry rectangle.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling, covering it completely. Use a sharp knife to make a few slits on top to allow steam to escape during baking.
  • Brush the top of the pastry with an egg wash (whisked egg with a bit of water or milk).
  • Sprinkle sesame seeds over the top for added crunch and flavor.
  • Place the filled pastry on a baking sheet and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and puffed up.
