Step 1

In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, salt, and clarified butter until well combined. Gradually add water and knead into a firm dough. Keep kneading for about 10 minutes, then brush a little oil on top, cover, and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 2

Heat some oil in a pan, add ginger-garlic paste, and sauté for a minute. Toss in the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes until it turns white.

Step 3

Season with salt, pepper, cumin, chili flakes, and chili powder. Stir everything together, add a bit of water, cover, and let it simmer on medium-low heat for 10 minutes.

Step 4

After that, stir in chopped onions, chilies, and coriander leaves. Mix well and turn off the heat.

Step 5

Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Mix some clarified butter with a little flour to make a paste.

Step 6

Take one dough ball, flatten it, brush with the butter-flour paste, sprinkle some flour, then fold and roll it out into a log. Cut the log in half.

Step 7

Take one half, flatten it slightly, add some chicken filling, and seal the edges tightly.

Step 8

Heat oil for frying and cook each filled pastry on low heat for about 20 minutes until golden and crispy. Serve warm with your favorite sauce.
