Description - Step 1
Step 1: Preheat Oven
Preheat your oven to 180°C to ensure even baking. Grease a baking tray lightly with oil or butter. This prevents sticking and helps achieve a crisp base for the pinwheels.

Step 2: Roll Puff Pastry
On a clean, lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry sheet into a smooth rectangle. Keep it uniform in thickness so the pinwheels bake evenly and puff beautifully.

Step 3: Layer Green Chutney
Evenly spread ½ cup green coriander chutney across the entire surface of the puff pastry. This layer adds freshness, colour, and a mild herby flavour.

Step 4: Swirl Red Chutney
Spread ¼ cup red garlic chutney over the green chutney carefully to create a visually striking swirl. The combination of red and green makes the pinwheels festive and flavourful.

Step 5: Add Cheese
Sprinkle 1 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over the layered chutneys. Cheese adds gooey richness and binds the layers together when baked.

Step 6: Roll the Pastry
Starting from one edge, roll the pastry tightly into a log. Press gently to secure the edge so it doesn’t open while baking. A tight roll ensures defined pinwheels.

Step 7: Slice Pinwheels
Use a sharp knife to slice the rolled log into ½-inch thick pinwheels. Arrange them on the greased tray, keeping enough space for expansion during baking.

Step 8: Bake to Golden Perfection
Bake in the preheated oven until the pinwheels puff up and turn golden brown. Check occasionally to avoid over-browning and ensure a crisp exterior with soft, cheesy interiors.

Step 9: Garnish & Serve
