BAKED CHICKEN CURRY PUFFS



Baked Chicken Curry Puffs image

These are literally steaming next to me as I write - they've just come out of the oven, crisp and delicious and thought I'd beter get the recipe down before I forget it. I've created this recipe myself, using a range of authentic Malaysian recipes as my inspiration. The spice blend itself is used in Malaysian meat curries, and makes more than the recipe needs. I've used reduced fat puff pastry (without compromising taste) and spray oil, so these are a healthier version than some of their counterparts -especially as they're baked and not fried. Serve with your favourite dipping sauce.

Time 45m

Yield 27 curry puffs, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

5 whole cloves
5 whole black peppercorns
2 whole cardamom pods
1/2 cinnamon stick (3 cm long)
2 small whole dried red chilies
2 tablespoons coriander powder
1 tablespoon cumin seed
1/2 teaspoon fennel seed
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
200 g minced chicken
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1 brown onion, diced
1 clove garlic, finely sliced
spray oil
3 sheets puff pastry
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees C (fan-forced) or 200 C conventional.
  • Add the potatoes to a pot of boiling water and cook until just soft. Drain and set aside.
  • In the meantime, toast the first 3 spices (cloves, peppercorns, cardamon) in a medium size saucepan over a medium heat, until just beginning to smoke and becoming aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside in bowl,
  • Add the next 2 spices (cinammon and chilies), and repeat toasting instructions. Remove and add to same bowl as the other toasted spices.
  • Add the last 4 spices (coriander, cumin, fennel and tumeric powder) and repeat toasting. Remove and add to same bowl as the other toasted spices.
  • When the spices have cooled, grind with either a mortar and pestle, or in coffee grinder. (Note: I like my spice mix fine, so after grinding in mortar and pestle, I sieve the mixture using a fine net sieve).
  • Set the spice mixture aside (when cooled, store in a jar).
  • Add a bit of spray oil to the saucepan pan, add the chicken and cook until browned all over and cooked through. Remove and add to a medoim-sized bowl.

  • If needed, add a bit more oil to the pan, and cook the onion until browned, about 4-5 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
  • Return the chicken and spice mix, and the drained potatoes to the saucepan.
  • Cook for a further minutes until all ingredients have mixed in together.
  • Add in the sugar and salt, and stir.
  • Remove from pan, and add back into the medium bowl. Leave to cool for about 10 minutes.
  • Thaw out the puff pastry sheets, and cut each sheet into 9 squares.
  • When the mixture has cooled a little, add a heaped teaspoon into the centre of one the pastry square.
  • Fold square in half, and pinch edges together to form a triangle shape.
  • Place triangles on an oven tray, and spray with oil.
  • Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

CHICKEN-STUF'T POTATO PUFFS: RELLENOS DE PAPA CON POLLO



Chicken-Stuf't Potato Puffs: Rellenos de Papa con Pollo image

Provided by Sunny Anderson

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield about 18 balls

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 packet sazon seasoning
6 cooked russet potatoes, flesh only (about 3 cups flesh)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
2 eggs 1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 red bell pepper, diced small
1/2 green bell pepper, diced small
1/2 rotisserie chicken, skin and bones removed, and meat finely chopped
2 tablespoons freshly chopped oregano or 1/2 teaspoon dried
Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 cup potato flakes or crushed plain potato chips or panko bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Combine the butter and the sazon in a small saucepan over low heat and stir until the butter has melted.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the potato flesh, melted butter, heavy cream, 1 egg, cornstarch, chili powder, garlic powder, and kosher salt and pepper, to taste, and mash until evenly combined; set aside.
  • For the filling: In another medium bowl add the peppers, chicken, oregano, and kosher salt and pepper, to taste. Stir well to combine and reserve.
  • In a deep heavy-bottomed 12-inch pan, add about 3 inches of oil. When ready to fry the balls heat the oil to 375 degrees F. Scoop 1 tablespoon of the potato mixture into your hand and roll it into a ball. Using the back of a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon scoop or your finger, make an indentation in the ball leaving a pocket for the filling. Scoop a small amount of the chicken filling into the center of the potato and repeat to make a second ball. With the chicken filling facing the center, sandwich the first disk with the second and pinch to close off any seams. Roll lightly between your palms to form a ball. Continue with remaining filling and potato mixture.
  • Lightly beat the remaining egg in a small bowl. Add the potato flakes to a shallow bowl or plate and season lightly with salt. Dip each ball into the beaten egg, then into the potato flakes. If the ball is not completely covered, put it back into the egg, then into the potato flakes for a second time. Set aside and repeat to coat all the balls. Fry the balls, in batches, until cooked through and golden, about 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels and arrange on a serving platter to serve.

Tips for Making Perfect Chicken Puffs:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, free-range chicken and organic vegetables will yield the best results.
  • Season the chicken well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices to flavor the chicken. This will help to create a delicious and flavorful filling.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make it tough. Mix it just until it comes together, then stop.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it out: This will help to prevent the dough from sticking to your work surface and make it easier to roll out.
  • Roll the dough out thinly: The thinner you roll out the dough, the crispier the chicken puffs will be.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the dough: This will help to prevent the dough from tearing.
  • Fry the chicken puffs in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy outer layer.
  • Drain the chicken puffs on paper towels: This will help to remove any excess oil.
