Ingredients

  • 3 cups plain flour
  • 1 tsp dried yeast
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
  • 1 cup (250 ml) water (use as needed) 
  • 1­–2 cups cooked butter chicken
  • 1 tbsp ghee
Proving time: 2 hours

Instructions

  1. Sift flour and salt into a bowl. Stir in the yeast. Make a well and add 1 lightly beaten egg, the milk and a small amount of water. Use hands to mix and form dough, adding more water as needed to form a soft dough (it should not be wet). Once it comes together, turn out onto a lightly floured surface. Knead for 5 minutes. Transfer to a baking tray, cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 2 hours to allow to rise.
  2. When dough has risen, divide into 4 portions. Form each into a ball and gently roll out to about ¼ cm thickness.
  3. Place about ¼ cup cooked butter chicken into centre of each piece of dough. Brush remaining beaten egg around edges of dough. Fold over dough to create semi-circles. Pinch edges to seal.
  4. Place ghee in a hot pan. When melted, add parcels and cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden. Drain for a few minutes on paper towel. Serve.
