Description

Flaky pastry surrounds a savory chicken curry filling. Store-bought puff pastry saves time and gives the pastries their flaky texture.


Ingredients

Scale

For the curry puffs

2 packages of frozen puff pastry sheets

Egg wash (1 beaten egg with 1 drop of yellow coloring)

For the curry paste

4 tablespoon curry powder

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric

1/2 cup water

For the filling

5 russet potatoes, peeled and cut into small chunks

2 yellow onions, peeled and cut into small chunks

1 cup frozen peas or frozen mixed vegetables

1 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into cubes

1 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into cubes

3 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon salt

1 tablespoon sugar


Instructions

To make the curry paste

Mix the curry paste ingredients together to form a paste. Set aside.

To make the filling

Soak potato cubes in cold water for 1 hour. Drain potatoes before use.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a non-stick pan. Add onion and stir fry until fragrant.

Push onions to one side of pan and add little oil. Turn down the heat to medium low, and add curry paste. Stir fry curry paste till fragrant for about 3 minutes, and combine with onions.

Add chicken meat and stir fry until cooked.

Add potatoes and stir fry until well combined. Add peas or mixed vegetables.

Add water until the mixture is half covered. Bring to a boil and keep stirring the mixture.

Add seasoning and bring mixture to a simmer for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender.

Remove curry fillings and set aside to cool.

To make the curry puffs

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.

Dust board with flour, roll our pastry sheets to 1/4″ thickness and use fluted-edged cutter (optional) to cut pastry into rounds.

Place a tablespoon of cooled filling in the center of each round. Moisten half the edge with water and bring the other half to seal and pinch the edges. Or use a curry puff mold to seal.

Place curry puffs on baking trays lined with parchment paper. Brush with egg wash glaze.

Bake at 450F for 10 minutes in the center of the oven. Reduce heat to 400F and bake for another 15 mins or until golden brown.

Cool curry puffs on a wire rack.
