Organic Chicken and Parmesan Pastries
These delicious chicken and cheese pastries are a twist on the classic Sri Lankan pastries my Grandmother used to make for us growing up. They are traditionally made with beef, however these are made with chicken mince, a welcome variation that I can't wait for you to try!

Instructions
- In a medium sized bowl add the raw chicken mince, and all the spices for the filling. Mix well and set aside.
- Ready the egg wash by lightly beating the egg in a small bowl and setting aside. Then cut each pastry sheet into 4 quarters.
- Add about 1 ½ tbsp of the filling to the centre of each square and sprinkle some cheese on top.
- Brush a little egg wash along the edges of the square and fold over to make a triangle. Use a fork to press down the edges shut. Continue this process until you've finished all the filling. You should get about 14-16 pastries.
- Place them on a baking sheet (you might need 2), brush with the remainder of the egg wash and sprinkle the sesame and/or poppy seeds on top.
- Bake at 180 degrees for approximately 20-25 minutes depending on your oven, rotate the tray halfway.
- Enjoy hot with your favourite sauce.
