Preparation Time - 20 minutes

Cooking Time - 30 minutes

Pie Crust:

2 1/2 cups - all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon - salt

1 tablespoon - granulated white sugar

1 cup - unsalted butter, chilled

1/4 to 1/2 cup - ice water

* Egg - 1

* Cumin seed - 1/2 Tsp

Filling:

Chicken - 500 gm

Potato - 2

Carrot - 2

Salt - As needed

Pepper - 1 Tsp

Water - 3/4 Cup

Corn Flour - 1/4 Cup

In a food processor, place the flour, salt, and sugar and process until combined.

It will be of a grainy texture.

I cooked the chicken using the pressure cooker. You can use any method you like.

The basic idea is to cook the chicken and shred it.

I cooked the potato and carrot in a pressure cooker.

Once the potato and carrot is cooked, mash it.

Keep the beans and shredded chicken ready to make the filling.

Heat the pan with some oil.

Add Ginger garlic Paste and saute for sometime till the raw smell goes.

Add the vegetables (Potato, carrot and beans, shredded chicken).

Saute for 3 minutes.

Mix the cornflour well with water.

Add it to the vegetables.

Keep stirring at low flame.

Now we get a saucy texture filling.

The filling should not be watery else it would be difficult to fill the pie.

Add cold water just enough to form a ball. Gather it into a ball.

Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 - 60 minutes or until firm enough to roll out.

On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pastry. Place the rolled pastry in a greased baking dish.

With help of a round disk cut get a perfect round shape you need for the sun pie.

Fill the middle of the pie crust with the filling. That will form the center of the pie.

Now fill around the filling. Roll out the other ball to form the second round.

Place a small bowl over its center and press the edges of the pie with a fork.

Now we will make the sun beam.

With the help of knife, make slits around.

Twist the slits slightly in one direction so that the filling is seen.

Beat an egg and brush it over the Sun Pie. It will give a golden crust.

Sprinkle some cumin seeds in the middle portion.

Preheat the oven at 180 degree for 5 minutes.

Bake the Pie for 15 minutes.

The crust will have a golden color. the sun pie is ready.
