Ingredients
320g ready rolled puff pastry
1 egg, whisked
For the Filling
1 brown onion, roughly chopped
1 green chilli, finely chopped
large handful of fresh coriander, roughly chopped
1 potato, boiled and mashed
50g cheddar cheese, grated
225g paneer cheese, grated
1 tsp salt
pinch of chilli powder
1 tsp chaat masala
1 tsp ground cumin
Method
– Preheat the oven to 180°C / 160°C with a fan.
– Grease and line a large baking tray.
– Place all the ingredients for the filling in a large bowl and mix well.
– Dust your work surface with some plain flour. Lay out the puff pastry and use a rolling pin to make it a bit thinner. Cut the pastry in half, lengthways.
– Distribute the filling evenly between each piece of pastry. Spreading it evenly and slightly off-centre so you can roll the pastry around it.
– Brush the lip of the pastry with some whisked egg. Roll the pastry around the filling and press it firmly with the back of a fork to seal it.
– Brush the top of the pastry with a thin layer of whisked egg and cut the roll into bitesize pieces.
– Place the pieces on the tray and then in the oven for 20-25 minutes until golden.
