Method

•  To make the dough, mix all the ingredients together and pour in the milk to knead it. Once the dough is soft and ready, cover it with a damp cloth and leave it in a warm place for about an hour.

•  After the hour has passed, knead the dough once again and set it in a warm place for another 30 minutes.

•  While the dough rests, prepare the filling by frying the onions, shredded chicken, flour, salt and pepper together until the flour becomes a light brown colour.

•  Add ketchup and water to the pan and mix gently.

•  Once the mixture has thickened, add green chillies to it and turn off the flame.

•  Divide the dough into 3 portions and roll out each portion flat.

•  Add the chicken filling onto each portion, covering it completely.

•  Sprinkle some grated cheese over the chicken.

•  Roll the portions tightly and seal the ends using your fingers and a little bit of water to make the dough stick.

•  Glaze each roll with egg yolk and bake until it puffs and the yolk becomes a light golden colour.

•  Allow the rolls to cool and then cut them into slices.

•  Serve warm. Your Rolly Polly Chicken is now ready!
