So I wanted to share this extremely popular Indian snack and also one of our MOST requested party appetizer ‘Indian Chicken Puff’, also known as Chicken Patties or Chicken Curry Puffs or even Chicken Puff Pastry.

Indian Chicken Puff Ingredients
Now, coming back to the Sharp Superheated Steam Countertop Oven, It’s my most handy kitchen appliance and saves us from getting the kitchen even hotter during summer months (the reason I avoid conventional ovens).
And the best of all no preheating is required with this countertop oven, cutting my cooking time down tremendously.
Since the countertop oven handles everything from baking, broiling, broiling, toasting, and reheating my left-overs, I’ve removed all the extra gadgets and just kept this on the kitchen counter.
This saves so much space in the long run, makes the kitchen looks so much more neater (in control seriously) and the bottom of the oven super easy to clean with no exposed coils.
You would have seen this countertop oven in my other recipes too, like:
Quick Ricotta Spinach and Corn Empanadas
Sheet Pan Orange Ginger Tilapia
Now that you have the ingredients for our Indian Chicken Puff, let’s get started with the process:
Process to Make Indian Chicken Puff – Chicken Curry Puff Recipe
- Make the Chicken Mix for stuffing the patties
- Cutting the puff pastry sheets into equal-sized squares (16) or any shape you like.
- Adding the cooked chicken mix on each patty/puff
- Sealing each patties using a fork.
- Brushing the chicken patties with egg for that perfect golden glow.
- Baking them for 15 minutes or until they are all puffed up golden brown.
Once baked, simply transfer the Chicken Curry Puffs to a serving platter and serve with your favorite sauce/chutney.
Since there’s no preheating or large ovens involved, I make them fresh (about 10 minutes before everyone starts to arrive) and always have the next batch ready to go.
