Curry Puff

{{totalReview}}
Creamy curry potato with egg hugged in crispy golden pastry, it is no wonder that the Curry Puff is a popular snack throughout Southeast Asia. This delicious pillow of goodness, while not the easiest to prepare, is well worth the effort! The difficulty lies in the pastry –the dough must be allowed to rest for 20 minutes and deft hands are required to fold the filling into the pocket. Once you have it down though, the rest is easy! Curry puffs freeze nicely so make a big batch and save some for the future!

  4. Deep fry

    • In a pot on medium filled with hot vegetable oil, deep-fry the curry puffs for 3 to 5 minutes, until golden brown.
