DIRECTIONS

    To make the filling

    • In a frying pan add the oil and sauté the onions, ginger, garlic, and green chillies for two mins.
    • To this add the spices and sauté for a minute.
    • Add in the tomato paste and the sweet chilly sauce and sauté well. Shake in the salt.
    • Throw in the shredded chicken and mix well to combine. Finally top it with coriander leaves.

    To make the pinwheels

    • Defrost puff pastry according to instructions. Lightly cover work surface with flour and roll out puff pastry. Brush puff pastry with melted butter.
    • Spread the sweet chilly sauce on top.
    • Spread the chicken mixture onto the dough evenly, making sure to get it to all of the edges.
    • Add the cheese.
    • Roll the pastry into a log. Once you have it all nicely rolled up, clean up your outside edge by tucking it back under. Brush the edge with egg wash to seal log. Brush egg wash all over log.
    • Slice log into 1/2 inch pieces for pinwheel. Place pinwheels on lined baking sheet.
    • Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.

    Notes

    Notes:
    ✔Add the mozzarella only if you want to. I used it in half of the pinwheels only. With or without cheese it tastes great.
    ✔You can use any kind of filling you want. Instead of the chicken you can even make these with spinach and cheese. Or substitute it with pepperoni, sliced hot dogs, whatever you have in mind.
