Method

Add 1 tbsp sugar & 1 tsp yeast to 170ml lukewarm milk. Keep aside for 5 minutes.

In a large bowl, take 2 cups of plain flour.

Add 1/3 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tbsp melted butter. Add the yeast mix. Mix well using a spatula.

Knead until a smooth dough is formed. Keep it in a bowl and apply little oil on top of the dough and the sides of the bowl.

Cover and allow to proof for 2 hours or until doubled in size.

In a pan, add 2 tbsps of sunflower oil. Add 300g boneless chicken, 1 tsp black pepper powder, 1/2 tsp garlic powder and salt to taste.

Mix well. Cover and cook until the chicken is completely cooked.

Remove from heat and allow to cool down. Grind the chicken using a food processor and keep aside.

In the same pan, add 1 1/2 tbsps plain flour. In a medium heat, fry it for 30 seconds. Add 1 cup milk. Keep stirring until we get a sauce like consistency.

Add the ground chicken. Add 1/2 cup thinly sliced cabbage and 1/2 cup grated carrot. Mix well. Add salt if required.

Remove from heat.

Take the proofed dough and knead it for a minute.

Divide into 4 portions.

Roll each of the dough.

Stack them on top of each other with the filling between each layer. There will be 3 layers of filling.

Place a small cap in the center.

Cut 16 even strips. Take 2 strips and twist them away from each other 2 times. Press the 2 ends together with your fingers.

Repeat the same with the remaining strips.

Remove the cap. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Brush with a beaten egg.

Bake in the preheated oven at 170°C for 20-25 mins or until lightly browned or golden.

Serve and enjoy.
