Pocket Shawarma



Ingredients:

Dough:

  1. Maida - 1 cup
  2. Dried yeast - 1/4 tsp
  3. Salt - to taste
  4. Oil - 1 tsp
  5. Sugar - 1/2 tsp
  6. Hot Water - to make the dough
Chicken filling:
  1. Cooked and shredded boneless chicken - 1 cup (cooked along with turmeric and salt)
  2. Chopped onion - 1/2 cup
  3. Chopped Cabbage - 1 cup
  4. Chopped Carrot - 1/2 cup
  5. Chopped green chillies - 3 to 4
  6. Mayonnaise - 1/2 to 3/4 cup
  7. Salt - to taste
  8. Black pepper powder - 1 tsp

Preparation:
  1. Take a bowl. Add maida, yeast, salt, sugar, oil and mix well.
  2. Add the hot water little by little to this mixture and make a fine dough. It should not be too watery and should have a smooth consistency. Knead well.
  3. Apply some oil on the dough, cover the dough with a cloth and keep aside for 1 hour for it to become soft and fluffy.
  4. To prepare the filling, add all the vegetables and onion to a bowl. Add the shredded chicken to this. 
  5. Add the pepper powder and salt and mix well.
  6. Add the mayonnaise and mix well.
  7. Divide the dough into 2 portions. Make big chapattis out of the 2 balls. Make it as thin as possible.
  8. Take a round cutter and mark circles on one of the chapatti. Each circle should be the size of a small puri.
  9. Place 1 tbsp of the filling in the center of each of the round puris.
  10. Now place the other chapatti on top of the first one.
  11. Using the same round cutter, cut out each of the small puri along the side of the filling.
  12. This way you will have around 7 puris, with stuffing inside. Press the sides softly so that the filling does not come out.
  13. Heat oil in a pan. Once it is hot, drop each of the stuffed shawarma into the oil and fry on a medium flame, until both sides are done.
  14. Remove from oil and transfer onto a tissue to remove the excess oil.

Yummy and crispy hot pocket shawarmas are ready to be served with mayonnaise and tomato ketchup!!
