INSTRUCTIONS
FOR THE DOUGH
FOR THE FILLING
To prepare the dough: Put yoghurt cheese and butter in a bowl and cream
until well blended. Sieve flour and salt together and blend into the
cheese-butter mixture with a fork. Add eight tsp. water and knead to a
smooth dough. Cover with a moist cloth or cling film and refrigerate for an
hour.
To prepare the filling: Clean the liver and soak in milk overnight. Drain
and dice. Finely chop the spring onion bulbs and coarsely chop the greens.
Heat butter and oil in a frying pan, add the chopped onion bulbs and
garlic. Saute over medium heat until the onions are translucent and glossy.
Dissolve coriander powder and turmeric powder in two tbsp. water and add to
the pan. Stir until the moisture evaporates. Add tomatoes and salt.
Stir-fry until the oil floats on top. Add liver and spring onion greens.
Stir-fry for two minutes. Sprinkle bottle masala, pepper and marjoram. Stir
and remove from heat. When cool, add cheese and cream. Mix well. Adjust the
seasoning and divide into 12 equal portions.
To prepare the croissant: Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 37
cm. x 25 cm. rectangle. Then cut into 12.5 cm. squares. Finally, cut each
square diagonally, to make 12 triangles. Place a portion of the filling in
the centre of each triangle, roll from the wide edge to the tip and twist
the ends to seal the filling. Then turn the ends inwards to make crescents,
arrange on a greased baking tray. Brush with beaten egg. Bake in a
pre-heated oven at 450 F for 10 minutes or until golden. Serve as a
starter.
