Instructions

Step 1

In a large bowl combine the flour, sugar, salt, olive oil, yeast and milk. Mix using a spatula, then gradually add in the water while mixing. Use all of the water or as needed. Switch to your hand and knead the dough for 4 minutes until smooth. (Or use a stand mixer)

Step 2

Cover and let it rise for an hour.

Step 3

In a pan placed on medium-high heat add the oil. Once heated add the ginger and garlic paste. Cook for a minute then add in the chopped onions. Sauté for 3 minutes until soft and translucent.

Step 4

Add in the shredded chicken, green onions, corn and any other veggies. Add in the salt, pepper and chili flakes. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the veggies are fully cooked.

Step 5

Add the flour and immediately stir, sauté for 2 minutes to get rid of the raw flour taste. Then add in the milk while stirring. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 6

Lastly add the fresh chopped coriander and cook for 1 more minute. Turn off the heat and the filling is ready.

Step 7

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius or 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line two large baking trays with parchment paper.

Step 8

Divide the dough into 6 equal portions, roll each portion into a ball. Roll one ball into an oval shape (see pictures above), add about 2 tablespoons of the filling in the center and spread it out leaving space on both side to cut the slits.
