What is interesting about the Curry Puff?
A curry puff is a deep-fried or baked, semi-circular flaky pastry filled with curried fillings. The origins of this snack are mostly attributed to the influences of the British Cornish pasty, the Portuguese empanadas and the Indian samosas. The Curry Puff is multicultural. Likely originating in Singapore and Malaysia , the Curry Puff spread all around South east Asia.

Aphrodesi’hacks:
Make ahead. You can make your curry filling the night before and refrigerate.
Seal your Curry Puff. Use a bit of water to seal the edges, and a fork to crimp the edges. The egg wash will help the puffs become a beautiful golden brown. You can bake the puffs in the oven or toaster oven. Use a baking sheet lined with parchment for easy cleanup
Add protein. A chicken curry filling can include chicken thighs cut into extra small pieces. Cook your butter, onion, garlic and ginger first and then add your chicken and let it brown slightly before adding the vegetables, followed by stock and curry.
Mix up your vegetables in the Curry Puff filling. Use the vegetables you love- Peas, Mushrooms, chick peas- sky is the limit
Pick Your Heat. We love Golden Curry. You can buy the package in mild, medium, or hot in the International section of most grocery stores. Curry is such a delicious and aromatic sauce.
