Golden Indonesian Pasties – A Family Favourite
These Indonesian chicken pasties are Cynthia’s family’s take on the traditional pastie – a recipe loved across generations. A savoury filling of chicken, carrots, green beans, and onion is wrapped in soft white bread, dipped in milk, coated in breadcrumbs, and fried in rice bran oil until golden. The result is an irresistible contrast: a crisp, crunchy exterior with a pillowy layer underneath, giving way to a tender, flavourful interior. Unlike typical pastry-based snacks, this bread-and-crumb coating makes Cynthia’s pasties unique – lighter than a pie, but more substantial than a fritter.
A firm family favourite, especially with the younger generation, these pasties are as versatile as they are delicious. Enjoy them for breakfast, as a 3pm pick-me-up, a pre-dinner nibble, or part of a mezze platter when entertaining. If you’ve loved our Dutch Croquettes, you’ll find the same crave-worthy crunch and comfort here – just with an Indonesian twist. Oven reheating restores their golden crunch in minutes, making them a quick, wholesome option any time of day.

Hi I'm Cynthia,
Cooking just puts me in the best mood. Almost always when I’m in the kitchen I’ll have 70s music playing in the background – “Oh, What a Night” never gets old! Cooking is important to me because it is therapeutic. Nothing works as a better stress-reliever and nothing is more therapeutic than getting in the kitchen and cooking good wholesome food. I love cooking because absolutely nothing makes me happier than feeding my loved ones and seeing people enjoy my cooking.
