In a bowl, mix 350 g of flour, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 0.5 teaspoon of salt.

Add 2 teaspoons of yeast and mix.

Make a well in the center and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 200 ml of warm milk, adding the milk gradually while mixing to form a dough.

Knead the dough until it is soft and not sticky, then coat it with a bit of oil and cover it to rest.

In a skillet, heat oil and add 350 g of ground chicken, 1 chopped onion, and 3 minced garlic cloves, along with some curry leaves.

Add 1 tablespoon of curry and mix until the chicken is browned.

Add potato chutney (or boiled and mashed potatoes) and mix well.

Remove from heat and stir in 150 g of grated cheddar cheese, adjusting salt if needed, and mix well.

Once the dough has risen, punch it down and shape it into pieces, cutting 4 to 5 sticks.

Flour your work surface and flatten each piece into a circle about 20 cm in diameter.

Place some filling in the center and fold the dough over, sealing the edges together.

Turn the sealed side down and flatten it again into a circle of 20 to 22 cm in diameter.

Using your fingers or the edge of a knife, fork, or spoon, press to create a design on the dough.

Place the shaped dough on a baking sheet and brush with milk (or egg yolk for color).

Sprinkle sesame seeds on top and bake at 180°C for 15 to 20 minutes until golden brown.

Once baked, brush with a bit of butter and let cool slightly before serving.
