BAKED CURRY PUFF

CURRY PUFF







One of my favourite local pastry puff is the curry puff.It is very easy to make.You need to measure
the correct amount of ingredients in order to make the perfect puff.I also use the same pastry to make creamy chicken potato puff.You can also make tuna puff or sardines puff.


So here is the simple recipe:

Pastry

500 g plain flour
150g margarine/butter
3/4 cup water
1/2 teaspoon salt

1.Put the flour and margarine together in a large bowl.(I prefer to use butter, which makes it more yummy taste.)Rub the flour and margarine/butter in until it looks like breadcrumbs.Or use the dough maker.
2.Put the water and salt in and continue rubbing or mixing,(if using dough maker)
3.Make it into a soft dough.Leave it to rest for 30 minutes.

Filling:

4-5 potatoes cut into cubes
6 tablespoon curry powder
100g chicken cut small
1 onions dice small
1 garlic dice small
50 ml santan(optional)
1 egg yolk for brushing

1.Heat up a wok and 3 tbsp of oil. Put the onions and garlic in.Put in the chicken and potatoes.Pour in some water and cover to let it cook under a slow fire.When it is cooked,pour in the santan and leave it to cool.
Now you can roll out the dough and make your curry puff.Cut the dough in circle,put the filling in and fold into half and crimp the edges.Brush with egg yolk.
Bake it in the oven 200 degree celcius until it turns golden brown.
