The Chicken Tikka Masala Turnover is a savory pastry filled with tender chicken, aromatic spices, and a creamy tomato-based sauce.
To make this dish, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/2 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 package puff pastry, thawed
- 1 egg, beaten
To start, preheat your oven to 400°F. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, and ginger. Cook until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the cumin, coriander, garam masala, turmeric, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add the tomato sauce and heavy cream to the skillet. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken back to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface. Cut the pastry into 6 equal squares. Spoon the chicken mixture onto one half of each square, leaving a border around the edges. Brush the edges with the beaten egg and fold the other half of the pastry over the filling. Press the edges together to seal.
Place the turnovers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
The Chicken Tikka Masala Turnover is a delicious and flavorful dish that is perfect for any meal. The pastry is flaky and buttery, while the filling is creamy and spicy. The chicken is tender and juicy, and the spices add a depth of flavor that is sure to impress. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy dinner, or as an appetizer for a party.
