Preparation Steps
1
Dice the chicken breast into small cubes. In a bowl, combine the chicken with the yogurt, tandoori spice mix, grated ginger, crushed garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
2
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the marinated chicken for 8-10 minutes, until fully cooked and lightly browned.
3
Let the cooked chicken cool for a few minutes to prevent the filling from soaking the pastry.
4
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into equal-sized triangles.
5
Place a portion of the tandoori chicken filling on the wider end of each triangle.
6
Gently roll up the triangles into croissant shapes, starting from the wider end.
7
Brush the tops of the croissants with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
8
Place the croissants on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
9
Let the croissants cool for a few minutes before serving warm or at room temperature.
