Chicken Filling for Moons or any other savouries……preparing for ramadhaan brings about the time to prepare fillings, pastry and all things like…

So here’s my chicken filling recipe:

2 kg cubed Chicken Fillet

Olive Oil – for cooking

salt & pepper

2 tsp crushed Garlic

1 tsp crushed Ginger

1-2 tsp crushed jeera

1/2 tsp whole jeera

2-3 tsp finely chopped green chilli (according to taste)

1-2 tsp lemon pepper

1 tsp Chicken Spice

Lemon Juice – a good squirt

1/3-1/2 cup chopped coriander

Cook all the above.

When the water has reduced, add:

2-3 tsp mustard seeds

Handful of curry leaves – sliced thinly

Cook til done. Taste and adjust spices as required.

I like my filling more saucy….so I add a little white sauce:

1/2 – 1 cup milk plus 3-4 tblsp flour – combine well and add to filling

Cook again until you are happy.

Cool and use to fill moons/pies/calzones etc.

This filling can even be used as the chicken part in springrolls, just add cooked spaghetti and julienned vegetables.

I dip my moons in a thin flour/water mixture and dip into breadcrumbs that have been tossed with crushed vermicelli, sesame seeds & crushed cornflakes.

Enjoy
