Steps

1

In a bowl, mix together flour, salt, oil, chilli flakes and yeast. Knead into a dough by adding water little at a time and as required. Cover with a muslin cloth and set aside for an hour.
2

For the stuffing - Heat oil in a pan and temper with cumin seeds and asafoetida. Saute for a few seconds. Then add the onion, ginger, garlic and green chilies. Fry till light brown.
3

Now add the veggies, salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder and garam masala powder. Cover and cook on a low flame for 2 minutes.
4

Add the chicken, cheese and amchur powder. Saute for a minute and switch off the flame. Garnish with coriander leaves and set aside to cool down.
5

For the calzone - Knead the dough once again and then divide into 4-5 portions. Roll out each into a circle by dusting some flour.
6

Place a little of the stuffing and fold it over like a half moon. Secure the edges with a fork. Make similar calzones with the remaining dough and stuffing.
7

Line a baking tray with butter paper and brush with some oil / melted butter. Gently place the prepared calzones.
8

Lightly brush with the egg wash and bake in a preheated oven at 200 degrees C. for 20-25 minutes or till the top is light golden in colour. Serve with tomato ketchup, mayo or green chutney.
