What do you call these, creamy chicken and sweetcorn filled semi circle pies? Half moons 1 kg chicken filet (cut into tiny cubes) 1 onion finely chopped 1 tsp cooking salt 1 tsp pepper 1 Tsp fresh garlic 200g of sweetcorn 1 large green capsicum pepper cut into tiny cubes. 10-20 green chillis finely chopped A handful of fresh coriander (finely chopped) Method: In a pan, add the chicken, garlic and onion, mix and let it cook. Keep turning with a wooden spoon to avoid the chicken clumping together. Cook till all the excess water had evaporated. Now add the salt and pepper, mix and turn off heat. Now add the crushed green chillies, sweetcorn, green pepper, coriander and mix gently. Put this aside while you make the white sauce: White sauce: For the white sauce you will need: 750ml of full fat Milk 3 Tbs Butter 4 heaped Tbs Plain Flour 1.5 tsp Salt (adjust to taste) 2 Tbs double cream Method for white sauce: Melt the butter on medium heat and add flour, and stir. Pour in a little milk at a time and whisk continuously. When the sauce thickens reduce heat to low, whilst continuously whisking. Now Turn off heat and season with salt and pepper and add the cream. Let the white sauce cool a little, as it will thicken. Now pour into your chicken mixture. Mix well, you may add extra salt or chilli if necessary. Now to make the pastry dough: Dough: You will need: 2 cups water 2 Tbs butter 1 tsp salt Bring to boil, then add: 2 cups plain flour and mix rapidly till you form a ball. Turn off heat, and finish kneading the dough on a floured surface. You will need a flour shaker to hand to use to avoid the dough sticking to the surface. Use as required. Once kneaded, roll out and use a round cutter to cut circles. Cut out as many at you can. Repeat the above, as and when required. Fill pastry and close to form a semi circle, and hold the edges together to seal. Once all your half moons have been made, dip in egg and coat in breadcrumbs. #halfmoons #moonpies #rissois #rissoles #halfmoonpies #ramadan2024 #ramadanrecipes #ramadanseries2024 #mealprepping #freezermeals #chickenpie #englishrecipes #recipedeveloper

Bismillah, Lets begin.A favourite in my household. Will also post a detailed reel of the dough being made. Moon Pies/ Half Moons Recipe credits @aaminas__kitchen 📌Ingredients to cook chicken 650 grams finely cubed chicken 2 tbsp oil 1 tsp whole cumin 2 tsp garlic paste 1 1/2 tsp lemon pepper seasoning 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper powder . 📌Ingredients for the milk sauce. 3/4 cup milk 2 tbsp cornstarch 1 tbsp butter . 📌Remaining Ingredients to combine 3/4 cup canned corn 1/2 cup fresh chopped coriander 1/2 cup grated cheese 4 tbsp chilli garlic sause . 📍Method. 👉Add all the ingredients with the chicken and cook. Continue to stir so the chicken does not stick together. 👉Add the cornstarch to milk and stir on medium heat until it thickens. Mix in the butter. 👉combine the milk mixture, cooked chicken, coriander, corn, chilli sause and cheese. It is now ready for filling .Set aside. 📌Ingredients for dough 3 1/4 cup flour 1/2 tsp salt 3 tbsp butter 3 cup water .. 📌Ingredients for coating 2 beaten eggs Breadcrumbs 📍Method. Add the butter, salt, to water and allow to boil. Then add the flour.Stir quickly so everything is combined. Turn over to a floured surface and knead into a smooth dough. Divide into 3 parts, keep covered in container so it remains warm. Roll out them using slight flour. (Do not use too much flour as the pies will not stick when making). Cut out using a circles to the size you wish. You will be able to cut many circles at once. I usually cut all circles and keep covered in container so they don't dry up. Take the circle in your palm and fill with spoonfuls. Do not let the mixture touch the sides, otherwise your pies will not stick. Carefully press the dough on edges to form pies. Dip in beaten eggs and coat in breadcrumb. Deep fry in medium hot oil and enjoy ❤❤ The dough that remains when you cut out the circle, knead it and allow to rest for a while again before rolling. In the meantime use the other dough. You may make little balls and roll individually but that will take too long. . #savouries #savoury #ramadhaan #ramadan #ramadhan #ramadhaanpreps #iftaari #moonpies #chickenpie #halfmoons #recipe #recipereel #foodofinstagram

These delicious half-moon rolls are one of my all-time favourite savoury snacks, and you guys love them just as much! They’re perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy, cheesy, and full of flavour on the inside. The filling is made with chicken, peppers, sweet corn, lots of spices, cheese, and a homemade creamy sauce that brings everything together. It’s then wrapped in homemade rolled pastry, shaped into beautiful half-moons, coated in breadcrumbs, and cooked until golden and crispy. You can deep fry them, shallow fry them, or even air fry for a lighter option. Every bite is crunchy on the outside and rich, cheesy, and creamy on the inside — the kind of snack that disappears very quickly! #masala_bites #halfmoons #moonpie #explorepage #reeloftheday
