Add chicken, garlic, salt and coarse black pepper. Mix well and cook until all excess water has evaporated. Now add smoked paprika, Chilli flakes and cumin powder. Cook for 1-2 minutes the stir in BBQ sauce and ketchup. Turn the heat down to low and simmer for 5-8 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside to cool. Once cooled, stir in spring onions and grated cheese. To make the buns, remove the dough from the bowl and divide into 12 equal portions. Roll each portion out and fill the middle with a heaped tbsp of filling. Fold and pinch the edges in to form a ball and place on a lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, then cover with the clean tea towel and set aside to prove for 30 minutes. Preheat the oven at 180°c. Once buns have proved, brush with egg and sprinkle some sesame seeds. Bake for about 20 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Serve warm or at room temperature.
