BAKED CURRY PUFFS

I needed something a little different for a party. I wanted something that was baked and not deep fried and came up with this recipe . I served these at a party and got rave reviews about these puffs. Serve them with your favourite dipping sauce. Use vegetables such as carrots, corn, parsnip and peas for your vegetables or use a frozen mix that has been thawed for convenience. A little Chili can be added for an extra kick also. I am guessing the amounts this mixture made but it did make quite a few!

Tips:

  • For the flaky pastry, use cold butter and work it into the flour quickly to avoid overworking the dough.
  • When rolling out the pastry, make sure it is evenly thick throughout to ensure even cooking.
  • For the curry filling, use a variety of spices to create a flavorful and aromatic filling.

  • Serve the curry puffs hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
