Method
1. Cut the chicken breast into small pieces.
2. Heat oil in a pan. Add ginger-garlic paste and chopped onion. Saute until lightly browned. Bring down the heat and add the masala powders. Saute for a few seconds and add the chopped tomato. Cook for 1 – 2 minutes. Add the minced chicken and chopped curry leaves. Stir-fry for a few minutes. Sprinkle a little water if it is very dry. Switch off. Set aside.
3. Thaw the puff pastry sheets as instructed in the package. I used Sunbulah puff pastry sheets .Roll the pastry into required thickness. Fill 1-1.5 tbsp of the chicken filling. Line the edges with a little water and seal the puffs or press a fork into the edges. Arrange the prepared puffs on a baking tray greased with oil. Lightly beat the egg white and brush on top of the filled puff pastries. Preheat the oven to 400 F and bake for 15 – 20 minutes or until the puffs turns golden brown on top.
