Corn-Paneer Parcels

Open-topped puff envelopes loaded with crumbled paneer, sweet corn, capsicum and a hint of schezwan — folded so the cheesy filling peeks out the top and crisps as it bakes.

Method

  1. 1

    In a bowl combine crumbled paneer, grated mozzarella, chopped capsicum, sweet corn, onion, mixed herbs, schezwan sauce, ketchup, salt, pepper, coriander and green chillies. Mix gently until well combined.

  2. 2

    Roll the chilled puff pastry to 4 mm and cut into 4-inch squares.

  3. 3

    Place a generous tablespoon of filling in the centre of each square. Bring all 4 corners up to meet in the centre and pinch lightly together — the sides remain open like an envelope.

  4. 4

    Brush the visible pastry with milk. Place on a parchment-lined tray.

  5. 5

    Bake in a preheated 220°C convection oven for 12 to 15 minutes until the pastry is deep golden and the cheese on top is bubbling and lightly browned. Serve immediately.
