My Favourite Snacks
We had these pasties a few days ago. They are so easy to make because you only need to make the filling and then buy some puff pastry from your local store. I made twenty but I can assure you they did not see the end of day. They were gone in one sitting. I wish you a pleasant day!
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and add onion and garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
Add the chicken and cook over medium high heat for about 10 minutes until lightly browned. Add coriander, cumin, turmeric, chilli powder and salt and cook for about 2 minutes. Adjust seasoning.
Stir in peas and coriander, remove from heat and cool.
Cut the pastry into 10cm (4-inch) circles.
Place mixture in the centre of each circle. Fold over and pleat the edges to seal.
Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush liberally with beaten egg.
Bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
Enjoy the pasties as a snack

This look sooo delicious! I’m looking for a recipe of yours to post in my new ‘Recipe Roundup’ which I’m doing once a week. This is only my second week and I’m featuring snack recipes for the Super Bowl. But, in the meantime, I’m PINNING this recipe.
Thanks for pinning and sorry I took so long to go through my messages. Let me see the recipe round up. I would like to participate!!!

There is a very similar dish by the same name I want to make for my blog from Michigan and it has chicken and some root vegetables as the filling. I am inspired to make them now. -Kat

Every once in a while I buy a package of that pastry, but then years later . . . I find it in the freezer and toss it. I always think I will do something wonderful (like this!) with it. I must do better.

Oh that would be awesome. Warm, gooey and irresistible.

These look good Liz! I could go for them. Nice for appies or with salad for lunch? Heck, I’d even enjoy them at dinner! Seems to me I have a couple of packages of puff pastry in my freezer needing something done with them. Thanks Liz!
They were nice. I’m planning to make them again. My kids really loved them. Happy cooking, Sandy!
