3. In a separate vessel boil the potatoes with some salt and peel off its skin, then chop the potato into fine pieces.
4. In a wide pan, add two tablespoons of oil and two tablespoons of ghee and allow it to heat.
5. Add finely chopped onions, coriander leaves, mint leaves, ginger, and garlic and saute it well till the raw smell of onion goes off.
6. Then add cooked chicken to the sauteed mixture and add two tablespoons of chili powder, bay leaf powder, cardamom powder, and chopped potatoes to it and saute well.
7. Allow the chicken mixture to cook perfectly, in the meantime, we will prepare a batter.
8. In a mixing bowl, add half kilo all-purpose flour, egg yolk, salt, baking powder, and some water.
9. Knead it till it becomes a very smooth batter because the smooth batter is a secret of crispy puff.
10. Immediately divide the batter into parts and start to roll it. You need 4 parts for each puff you make.
11. Place the rolled batter one above another and roll it again. Now you will get the layered sheets like bakery puff sheets.
12. Then place the small number of chicken fillings in the center of the batter and cover its edges.
13. Then seal the edges with a flour and egg white paste.
14. Now heat the oil in the pan, once it gets heated start to fry the puffs. Fry it till it becomes golden brown in color, repeat the same procedure for all chicken puffs.

Notes (Tips for tasty chicken puff):

• Don't add salt while making the fillings because we already added an adequate amount of salt in a chicken bunch as well as a potato.
• Then prepare for batter only after the fillings get ready because as time goes on a batter will start to absorb excess oil. So always prepare batter just before cooking.
