Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Potatoes

   Peel 2 medium-sized potatoes and dice them into small cubes. Place the diced potatoes in a pot, add salt to taste, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, and a little water. Mix well with your hands to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. Cook for about 10-12 minutes until the potatoes are cooked through and tender.

2. 2.Prepare Vegetables

   While the potatoes are cooking, grate one carrot. Cut the green part of a few spring onions. Cut a medium-sized onion into small dice. Chop a few garlic cloves.

3. 3.Cook Garlic and Onion

   Heat a pot and add 1 tbsp of oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chopped garlic and sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant. Then, add half of the diced onion and sauté until translucent. Add salt to taste and 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, mixing well.

4. 4.Cook Ground Chicken

   Add 1 pound of ground chicken to the pot with the sautéed garlic and onion. Mix well, breaking up the chicken as it cooks. Add 1/4 tsp chili flakes and additional salt to taste. Also, add ginger and garlic powders. Cook for a few minutes until the chicken is browned and cooked through. Transfer the cooked chicken mixture to another container.

5. 5.Sauté Remaining Vegetables

   Using the same pot, add 1 tbsp of oil. Add the remaining diced onion and sauté. Add turmeric powder and chili powder (optional) and mix well. Then, add the grated carrot and mix, cooking for a few minutes until slightly softened.

6. 6.Combine Filling Ingredients

   Add the cooked chicken mixture back into the pot with the sautéed vegetables. Mix well to combine. Finally, add the cut spring onion and mix thoroughly. Add the cooked potatoes and mix everything together. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. The filling is now ready.

7. 7.Prepare the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of flour, 1/4 tsp chili powder, 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, and salt to taste. Add 50g of butter (cut into pieces) and 1 egg. Mix well with your hands, incorporating the butter into the flour mixture. Gradually add water, little by little, while mixing to form a soft dough. Once the dough comes together, transfer it to a floured board and knead it until smooth.

8. 8.Form the Patties

   Divide the dough into 4 equal parts. Take one part and flatten it using a rolling pin into a thin sheet. If you have a patties cutter, use it to cut out dough circles, place a spoonful of filling on one side, and press to seal. If you do not have a cutter, use a round object to cut circles, place the filling, fold the dough over, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.

9. 9.Fry the Patties

   Heat a sufficient amount of oil in a deep pot for frying. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the prepared patties. Fry the patties until they become light golden brown on both sides. Remove from oil and place on a wire rack to drain excess oil.

    Serve the spicy chicken patties hot and enjoy!
