Instructions
 

  • Combine the flour and the dry milk in a bowl . Add the butter into the bowl and cut into the dry ingredients until the mixture resembles coarse meal and the largest sizes of the butter resemble small peas .
  • Mix salt into water then add the water into the bowl with the flour mixture . Mix gently until a dough pulls together .
  • Turn the dough onto a lightly floured surface and and kbead gently until it is smooth and a bit springy ; about 2-3 mins .
  • Avoid using too much flour for flouring the surface and for kneading ; the more flour used , the more dense the dough will be
  • The dough might be slightly wet or tacky initially , because the whole wheat flour takes more time to absorb the liquid .
  • Pat the dough into a square 1 inch thick and wrap into plastic wrap and refrigerate for atleast an hour
  • To make the butter square , combine the butter and flour in a bowl . Mix until smooth and well blended without any lumps .
  • Lightly flour a piece of plastic wrap or wax paper , add the butter mixture to it and spread or pat into a 8 inch square . Cover , place on a flat surface in the refrigerator and chill for atleast 30 mins .
  • Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on a lightly floured surface . Gently roll into a 12 inch square. Place the butter square on top in the center of the dough at a 45° angle .
  • Pull the flaps of the dough over the edges of the butter square until they meet in the middle . Dust the top of the dough with flour , then turn them over and tap gently with the rolling pin into a rectangular shape .
  • Roll the dough out onto a 10 × 20 inch rectangle . Mark off the dough into thirds widthwise . Fold one side over and the other on top , like a business letter , taking care to line up the edges carefully . This completes the first turn .
  • If the dough is still cool and relaxed , roll it out again into a 10× 20 inch rectangle and then fold into thirds . This completes the second turn . Repeat this process four more times for a total of six turns .
  • Wait atleast one hour between the set of turns (so do 2 turns , wait for an hour , 2 last turns , 1 more hour ) Wrap in plastic wrap and freeze for a day or until ready to use .
  • In 2 tbsp of oil , add the finely chopped onion along with the garlic and saute for a min . Add in the meat mince next and get it thoroughly combined with the onions and the garlic and let it saute for a min too .
  • Add in the black pepper , salt , coriander , cumin and garam masalas along with cubec powder and give it all a good mix . Cover and let it sit on a medium flame for 2 mins or till thoroughly cooked through .
  • Preheat your oven to 180 °. Cut the puff pastries into triangles ; slide a cut right through the center of the square . On a large greased baking pan , start to arrange the puff pastry .
  • Place a triangle with one of it edge pointing towards the inside and the other edge sideways while the one side or base is facing the direction opposite to the second edge .
  • With each piece , overlap the edge towards the inside with the alternate piece , as if trying to bring a same intersection point .

Notes

The pastry dough can be made beforehand and used accordingly in this. I have given the puff pastry recipe too which takes about 8-10 hours roughly. The preparation time given here in this recipe is just related to the assembling of the ring.
