Time 30m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

5 tablespoons oil
1 medium red onion (finely chopped)
2 teaspoons meat or 2 teaspoons chicken curry powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
1/2 cup of finely diced chicken breast
2 large potatoes (boiled and finely diced)
1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 lb plain flour
5 ounces margarine or 5 ounces shortening
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Make the filling first. Heat oil and fry onion gently until golden brown. Add the kurma powder, curry powder, chili, turmeric and fry gently. Add the chicken, potatoes, sugar, pepper, salt and cook for 5 minutes. Mix well and leave aside to cool.
  • To make pastry, mix flour with margarine, water, salt, and knead well. Let it rest for 1/2 hour. Cut the dough into circles (3 in) in diameter. Fold pastry over to make a half circle and crimp at edges. Deep fry in hot oil until golden.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially the curry powder. A good curry powder will make all the difference in the flavor of your curry puffs.
  • Make sure the filling is well-seasoned. The filling should be flavorful enough to stand on its own, even without the curry puff pastry.
  • Don't overfill the curry puffs. If the curry puffs are too full, they will be difficult to seal and may burst open during frying.
  • Fry the curry puffs in hot oil. The oil should be hot enough to cause the curry puffs to sizzle immediately when they are added to the pan.
  • Cook the curry puffs until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that the filling is cooked through and the pastry is flaky.

Malaysian curry puffs are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They can be filled with a variety of ingredients, making them a great way to use up leftovers. With a little practice, you can make perfect curry puffs at home. So, what are you waiting for? Give this recipe a try today!
