Ingredients

For the Prawn Filling:-

  • 1/2 tsp red chili powder
  • 1 tsp Coriander powder
  • 1/4 tsp Garam masala
  • 1/4 cube Tastemaker (chicken/veg/beef Bouillon )

  • Salt (as required)
  • 2 tbsp Coriander (finely chopped)
  • 4 tbsp Oil
  • 1 cup Fresh Prawns
For the Pattice:-
  • 1 box Puff pastry sheets (ready or homemade) (I used homemade puff pastry, see recipe notes below for recipe link)
  • 1 Egg (beaten well with 1 tbsp water)

Instructions

Prepare the Prawn Stuffing:-
  • 1 In a pan, add the oil. Fry the onion till soft. Add the turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, taste maker. Fry for 30 seconds.
  • 2 Add the prawns. Cook till prawns are done. (do not add water while cooking).
  • 3 Add the green chilies, fry for a minute. Adjust the salt and sprinkle with coriander. Let the stuffing cool completely before you fill them in the pastry.
Prepare the Pattice:-
  • 4 See recipe notes below on how to make your own Puff Pastry from scratch at home.
  • 5 Prepare pastry if making at home. Roll pastry sheet out 1/8 inch thickness. (If you roll too thin, you will not get nice flaky pastry after baking).
  • 6 Line the 12 pattice molds with the pastry. Using the mold cut 12 pastry rounds cutouts to cover top of the pattice.
  • 7 Fill with sufficient prawn filling.
  • 8 Preheat oven at 400 deg F (200 deg C). Cover the pattice with pastry cut outs. Brush top of pastry with egg.

  7. What else can you use if you dont have the pattice molds?

    1. Hi Shlain

      you can make regular shaped (rectangular or triangular shaped) pattice.
      Or you can even use cupcake mold pan if you have one and follow same procedure as the prawn pattice ones.

      1. Thank you

      1. Hello Xanti can u please help me make.puff pastry with lily magarine for khari biscuits thanks

        1. Hi Sandra
          Puff pastry recipe is on my website …
          Use margarine for same recipe

  14. Hi I wanted to make these Prawn Patties for a party. Can I prepare the patties in the morning and keep them in the fridge. Half an hour before serving can I bake them straight from the fridge to the oven.
    Kindly advise.TIA

    1. Hi maria
      Yes you can
      But freeze them
      Then before the party bake them directly while they are still frozen.
      Probably for 25-30 mins

  15. Hi Xanti
    My try for puff pastry sheet failed
    My patties just stayed like 1 layered samosa
    I would like to know what went wrong

    1. Hi shirley
      Make sure the butter is chilled (straight from the refrigerator)
      Follow the recipe, I cannot say what else might have gone wrong.

  16. Hi Xanti ,

    Currently I am in the UK. I tried making prawns pattice , but I used ready made puff pastry .

    They were simply amazing. It reminded me of Goa , specially after Sunday mass when we went for a tea at Jackriss (Margao)… haven’t been to Goa for a long time … I think this recipe bridged the gap a little bit…. heheh
