Chicken Puffs


This is a very easy recipe by Sreekala, they are all now in Chicago. I miss Eesha. She has the cutest curls :)

Ingredients:
1 onion chopped fine,
2 tsp ginger garlic paste,
spices (1/2 tsp red chilli powder, 1/2 tsp garam masala, 1/2 tsp corriander (dhania) powder, 1/2 tsp cumin (jeera) powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric (haldi))
1 lb minced chicken (or minced meat, whichever you like)
oil for cooking,
salt as per taste
1/2 tsp black pepper powder,
few drops of lemon juice,
Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets (thawed as per the instructions on the box)

First fry the onion in oil, then add the ginger garlic paste to it. Fry well. Add the spices, be careful, they burn quickly. Add water to prevent burning. Finally add the chicken and cook well, till done. (it should look oily, there should be not water left). Mix in few drops of lemon juice, salt and black pepper.

After the puff pastry sheets are thawed, put spoonfuls of mixture in the middle, wrap and finally bake according to instructions on the package.

Enjoy as an appetizer or a snack.
