Cook diced chicken in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink, about 8-10 minutes.

Add chopped onion, garlic, and ginger to the skillet; sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Stir in curry powder, chopped chili peppers, and coriander; cook for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.

Boil potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes; drain and mash.

Combine mashed potatoes with the chicken mixture; season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Roll out the dough made from flour, butter, and water until thin.

Cut the dough into circles, about 4 inches in diameter.

Place a spoonful of the chicken filling in the center of each dough circle.

Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape; seal edges by pressing with a fork.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Fry the patties in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Drain on paper towels before serving.
