Oven-Baked Curry Puffs Recipe

Recently had cravings for some curry puffs.....and making these reminded me of the good ol' times on Samada Street, Melbourne with my dear friend Sam, how we used to make them together in our tiny little kitchen =) This recipe happens to be a cheat since i didnt make the puff pastry on my own (used the ready made ones from the frozen section at Coop, heh)....but you could probably easily make them your own if you want to. But to make the fillings here's what I used:

Ingredients:
Chicken (diced; omitted if vegetarian version preferred)
Oil for frying
half cup water
Peas
Potatoes (diced, pre-boiled)
Onions (finely diced)
Curry mixture (3 tbsp curry powder + 1 tsp tumeric powder + 1tsp chili powder + salt and pepper to taste + half tsp sugar)
Hard boiled eggs (diced, generously sized)

Instructions to make fillings:

1. Heat oil in a sauce pan. Add in onions and stir till brown then add in curry mix.
2. Stir fry curry mix until fragrant (about 2 minutes, on medium heat).
3. Add in meat, potatoes and peas. Stir in a little while then add water. Lower heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes until mixture is mushy.
4. When folding in fillings into pastry, add in pieces of eggs to give it extra texture and taste.
5. Place puffs on baking paper, brush a little egg wash to give them colour. Bake for 20-25 minutes at 150 degrees (oh dont forget to preheat oven first )

Bon appetit!
