Another all time favorite dish from Malaysia. The only problem is that it takes a little patience to make the dough. I'd usually make 20-25 curry puffs and my love will finish it all up and demands for more. I can't keep up with his appetite. Read more Very flavorful snack. Taste great deep frying or baked.

How to make it
- To make pastry, mix flour with margarine, water, salt and knead well.
- Let it rest for 1/2 hour.
- While waiting for the dough, heat oil and fr onion gently until golden brown.
- Add the kurma powder, curry powder, chili, turmeric and fry gantly.
- Add the chicken, potatoes, sugar, pepper, salt and cook for 5 minutes.
- Mix well and leave aside to cool.
- Cut the dough into circles (3 inches) in diameter when it is done.
- Pre-heat the oven if you decide to bake instead of deep frying at 180c.
- Fold pastry over to make a half circle and crimp at edges with egg white.
- Deep fry in oil until golden or bake 15-20 mins at 180c.
- TIP: Alternatively, you can buy pre-made pastry puff/dough instead of rolling the pin. Also, you can use a chicken rice bowl as a guide to cut into 3inch in diameter circles. Adding peas into the filling is a good idea to make the mouth feel of the snack more crunchier. You can use a fork to press down to seal the puff instead of crimping it. Brush egg yolk on the puffs if you want to bake it to give it the golden finish.
