Indian Style Chicken Puff Pastry

Chicken cooked in spicy masala gravy, and wrapped in flaky puff pastry. Meat puffs are one of my favorite bakery item in Kerala. It’s easy to make if you have store-bought Puff Pastry Sheets in hand. It’s always a big hit in the parties! You will definitely love this one.

Ingredients

  • 1 pack Puff Pastry Sheet
  • 300 gram boneless chicken

  • 2 number onion (medium)

  • 1 sprig curry leaves
  • 2 tablespoon tomato ketchup

Instructions

Masala for filling

  • Slice onion into small pieces. Chop curry leaves into tiny pieces. I prefer chicken thighs than chicken breast piece. Chop chicken into small ½ inch cubes.

  • Heat 2 teaspoon oil in a heavy bottomed pan. Add onion, curry leaves and salt. Adding salt helps the onion to get cooked fast. Cover the pan with a lid and cook until onion is soft. Remove the lid and saute the onions until lightly brown.

  • Cut one puff pastry layer into six equal sized rectangles. Spoon the masala filling into the center of each rectangle piece. Fold the puff pastry sheet. Seal the edges using a fork.
