# Étapes de préparation:
01 -
Combine the shredded cheddar with mozzarella, diced onion, chopped coriander, garam masala, and chilli flakes in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly blended.
02 -
Lay your chilled puff pastry sheet flat on a surface lined with baking parchment. Spread the cheese mix all over it, leaving a small 1 cm gap along the edges. Gently press it onto the pastry without squashing it.
03 -
Top the first sheet with another sheet of chilled pastry. Lightly press down, ensuring the filling is compact. Seal the edges firmly by pinching them or adding a bit of water if needed.
04 -
Put the pastry back into the fridge for 10 minutes to firm up. If your pastry hasn’t warmed up, you can skip this.
05 -
Slice the pastry block into 6 long pieces (each about 5-6 cm wide). Take each section, grab both ends, and twist in opposite directions to form a spiral. If any filling spills out, just push it back in.
06 -
Mix turmeric, agave, and warm milk together to create a quick egg-free glaze.
07 -
Coat the twists in the turmeric glaze using a pastry brush. Sprinkle nigella seeds on top for flavor and texture.
08 -
Put the twists into a preheated oven set to 200°C. Bake for 20-25 minutes until they’re golden and flaky. Serve warm.
