Veggie Curry Puff

All time favourite dish from Malaysia... and for the first time I bring it to share with my friends when we having picnic.. I made vegetarian style as my friends are mostly vegetarians.. Original recipe is made from minced beef or chicken with small diced potatoes. Honest, believe it or not when in Malaysia nobody bother to make their own curry puff at home because easly can find it in supermarkets (frozen)or at street foods stall. The only problem is takes a little patience with the dough. I'd usually made about enough to eat at the time, but last time(yesterday) I make a giant one as I'm a bit tired with the rolling pin.. :P.. Ok so here the recipe, I make 2 different style, deep fry and baked.

Make the filling first:

4medium sizes potatoes, small diced

1 medium size carrot (diced)

1cup green peas

3spoonful Curry powder

2spoonful vegetable oil

1 small size onions (diced)

water half cup

salt

Heat the oil in a pan, fry the onions till fragrant. Add the curry powder and stir well. Put the potatoes, stir and put water, cook until the potatoes just about to soft and add the carrot, peas and salt. Cook for about 5mins till it dry and cooked. Leave aside to cool.

Pastry:

500gram flour,

2spoonful butter( margerin)

2spoonful vegetable oil

warm salted water

Heat the butter and oil just about the butter melted and then mix with the flour until combined together. Then pour the warm salted water (bit by bit) at the same time knead until you got a nice soft dough..Divide into small ball (a portions about 150grams each).

To fill and shape puff:

Roll the small ball (dough) into a circle with a rolling pin.

Put 1tbsb of filling in the centre.

Press the edge together and seal it. This will give you a half moon shape. I have a special cutter for this, so I can get the even shape.

Pinch the edge of the puff with your thump. Bring it the back side foward and seal it the front. Repeat the process until all done.

Style 1- deep fry

Heat the oil in the wok or deep fryer. Oil must be very hot before putting in the puff. Oil must enough cover the puff.

Fry it on medium heat until golden brown.

Style 2 - baked

Place the baking paper on the baking tray

Easyly put the ready puff and brush it with the egg yolk

Bake until it golden brown..

Ready to eat.. enjoy!
