I came across a recipe using Parathas as pastry shields(cover) for the chicken pies. I got to bake it today as there were some in the fridge. The fillings flavored same as the classic chicken pie fillings and for the top where a paratha skin is used instead of a pastry, you would still enjoy the tastiness except the texture is that of the parathas when you go for any Indian cuisine. Awesome! Enjoy la!

Serves 4

Ingredients

• 4 pieces of Parathas Discs
• 80gm Butter
• 2 tbsp Flour
• 350g Chicken Breast, diced
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 carrot, 100gm, cubed
• 50g Green peas
• 100gm mushroom, sliced

Seasonings

• 200ml chicken stock
• 1/4 paprika or Cayenne Pepper
• 1/4 salt
• 1/4 pepper
• 4 Pie moulds

Method

1. Cook the parathas till crisp and golden brown on both sides, cut into round discs of the same size as the pie moulds.
2. Heat butter in a pan. Saute the chicken, onions, green peas, mushrooms and carrots.
3. When almost cooked sprinkle the flour and cook over low fire with constant stirring for a minute and a half.
4. Add chicken stock and stir well so that the flour mixes with it to form a sauce. Stir in cream, salt and pepper to taste and cook for one minute.
5. Pour into greased pie moulds. Cover with the paratha-discs and bake 180 ‘c for 5 to 7 minutes. Serve. Voila!
