curry puffs recipe

Malaysian Curry Puffs. Flakey and crispy on the outside, savoury curried potatoes, chicken and onion on the inside. A heavenly and popular pastry for good reason! These curry puffs are commonly found in South East Asia.

Malaysian Curry Puff (Karipap)

vegetable oil (for frying)

boneless skinless chicken thighs (finely chopped)

potatoes (peeled diced)

onion

tsp Curry powder

turmeric powder

tsp salt

bay leaves

all-purpose flour ((500 grams))

salt

water (room temperature)

+ 3 tbsp hot oil

In a large pan set over medium heat, add 1 tsp cooking oil. Fry your chicken until mostly cooked. Add onions and potatoes, followed by curry powder, salt, turmeric (optional) and bay leaves. Cover and let this cook until potatoes are fork tender. Remove filling from pan and let it cool completely.

Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, add flour and salt. Whisk together. Make a well in the middle.

In another pan, heat your oil on high heat. Place a chopstick or a wooden stick to check if the oil bubbles. Once it bubbles, carefully pour the hot oil into the flour well. Allow this to bubble for 1 minute. Then mix the flour and oil together. Add water and mix everything together with your hands and knead it together. You should form a very oiled ball of dough.

On a floured surface, roll your dough into a long tube. Slice the tube of dough into 26 pieces. Roll each piece into a ball.

Then with a rolling pin, roll it flat into a 4 inch wide circular wrapper.

Fill the wrapper with 1 tbsp of the curried potato chicken filling.

Fold the wrapper over the filling. Pinch the edges together until completely sealed.

Then pleat the edges using your thumb. You may do big or small pleats. The latter is more time consuming but prettier. Repeat this process.

In a large pot filled with 3 cups cooking oil, set it over medium heat. Check for oil for bubbles using a chopstick or wooden spoon. If bubbles form, it's time to fry.

Carefully lower 5-6 curry puffs into the hot oil using a slotted spoon. Fry on each side for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from hot oil and transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool.

Serve and enjoy your Malaysian potato curry puff!

Chicken Curry Puffs (A Dim Sum Favorite)

T canola oil

onion, diced

garlic,

chicken

T curry powder

t turmeric

t cumin

t sugar

t black pepper

t salt

chicken broth

cornstarch

puff pastry

Sesame seeds

In a skillet, heat the oil over medium high heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook until translucent.

Add the ground chicken, breaking it up with a spatula. Cook until no pink remains and the juice has simmered away.

Add the curry powder, turmeric, cumin, sugar, pepper and salt. Stir the mixture together and cook for a few minutes.

While that is cooking, make a slurry of the cornstarch with the broth. Whisk well. and stir into the chicken mixture, until everything has thickened. The mixture is ready when there is no liquid  pooling in the pan. Take off heat and let cool. You can even refrigerate this and use it the next day.

While chicken is cooling, take the puff pastry from freezer and remove from package. Defrost about 35 minutes. Unfold each sheet and cut each into 9 squares.

Spoon about 3 T of filling onto each square and fold diagonally to form a triangle. Press the edges together and crimp with a fork.

Using two baking sheets lined with parchment or a Silpat liner, place puff pastry triangles on baking sheets.

When the puffs are formed, refrigerate for 20 minutes. Preheat oven to 400. When puffs have chilled, brush with egg wash before placing in oven. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.  Bake for 15-18 minutes until golden, one sheet at a time.

Let cool for 10-15 minutes before eating. They will be hot! These reheat well in a toaster oven or air fryer.

I have a problem with dim sum, my eyes are always bigger than my stomach. I like your curry chicken puffs. Pinned!
