Ingredients:
- Chicken stuffing*
- Puff Pastry
- Grated Cheese
- Egg yolk

*For the chicken stuffing:
- 500g of shredded chicken

- 1 tbsp garlic paste
- 3 small diced tomatoes
- 1 tsp of curry powder
- 1 tsp of turmeric powder
- 1 tsp of red chili powder
- 1 tsp of green chili paste

Preparation:
*For the chicken stuffing:
1. In a pan, heat the oil and add in the garlic, the spices and the tomatoes. Let it cook until it becomes a sauce. 
2. Add the chicken, salt, pepper and let it cook until the water has completely evaporated.
*At this step, you can also add in some corn and 'greens' (like parsley, or green onions)
*You can store this stuffing in the freezer and use when needed.

*For the pastries:

1. Preheat your oven to 200c/400f and grease your pan.
2. Flour your work area, lightly spread out your puff pastry, and cut into circles the size of your "ravioli cutter or mold". 
3. Add chicken stuffing on your circles, grated cheese and close them tightly.
* If you do not have a ravioli cut or mold, you can use a fork to press down the edges. 
4. Place your pastries on the pan and when all ready, coat them with egg yolk.
* At this stage, you can sprinkle your pastries with poppy or sesame seed. 
5. Bake until your pastries are brown and baked.
