Cook's Note : Curry Puffs made in Eurasian households are traditionally made
with a minced beef & potato filling. Use any of your favorite minced or
chopped meat - chicken, lamb, turkey - or an all-vegetable filling such as peas &
potato filling.
Alternatively, readymade puff pastry from the frozen section of your supermarket, can be used. Curry puffs can be baked instead of deep fried - remember to brush curry puffs with an egg wash before baking for a nice golden brown color |
