Cooking Instructions:
To make stuffing for chicken patties, fry chicken pieces in ginger garlic paste on medium flame. It is good to keep the flame on medium high as it locks the juices of meat and avoid leaking face in the gravy. On the other hand, cooking on high flame causes a layer to be formed face meat which makes your meat juicy and tasty after cooking. When all the water of chicken has dried and meat turns into white color, add all the flavors; black pepper, white pepper, salt, green chilies and pinch of sugar. Mix all the seasoning in the chicken and cook for a minute. Now add onion and spring onion to the chicken and cook them on high flame for 3-4 minutes. When the compound becomes fully dry, switch off the flame and let the stuffing cool down at room temperature.

Now its time to roll the puff pastry to make a flat bread of half inch thickness. Using a round cutter of 6 inch diameter make round pieces of puff pastry. Put two tablespoons of stuffing compound in the town of one of the round piece. For binding purpose, apply coating of egg on all corners and cover the filled piece with other puff pastry piece. Make rest of patties in the same way. In a baking tray put all the patties and coat each of them on top by applying beaten egg with a brush. Now put the baking tray in preheated oven for 10 minutes at 180 degree centigrade. Take out the chicken patties from the oven when they turn light brown in color.
