Lower the flame and add the coriander powder, chilli flakes, salt. Then add the spinach leaves and cook till done. Let it cool.
In a food processor or mixer, add the cold butter (the butter must be cold and cut into cubes), flour and pulsate in two or three pulses.
Add the ice water and pulsate or blend till everything is mixed. Pour the dough into a bowl and mix it, cover it and keep it refrigerated for 30 minutes.
Now roll out the dough and cut small circles using a cookie cutter and line the muffin tray cups with them. Blind bake them in a preheated oven at 180 for 30 minutes. (Blind baking is baking the tart cases by putting a baking paper on top of tarts and filling them with rice or baking beans)
Mix all the ingredients to form a mixture.
Pour the chicken mixture into the cooked tart shell.
Then add the milk mixture.
Sprinkle cheese, oregano and chilli flakes. Bake this at 180 in a preheated oven for 20 minutes. Cut and serve.
