Curry Puffs
Quite some time ago, I mentioned that I was planning to make curry puffs over the weekend as I was craving for some, turned out I really did. I think I'm just too in love with asian cousines! I went grocery shopping to make sure that I had all the ingredients a few days before. I couldn't find the round pastry skin so I ended up with triangular puffs instead hehe.
Chicken thigh, check. Potatoes, check. Curry leaves, check. Onions. check. Garlic, check. Pastry skin, check. Sauce, check. Spices, check. For some reason the potatoes here in oz always stick to the non-stick pan no matter how hot the oil is. -_-" Anyone care to enlighten me why?
I spent a good half a day working on the puffs, and hours later tadahh, it was all finally good and ready to disappear into my tummy haha. The skin was pretty flaky and nice, but I decided that the curry wasn't spicy enough. I'll have to make a note to myself to put in more spices the next time I make them again.
Here are some summarized visuals of the whole process.
This bit took a while, scooping, folding and kneading. I ended up with quite a few trays. Please ignore that shapeless piece of dough in the right picture. That was the creation of bigbadwolf. -_-" I really didn't know what he was trying to make haha. I got bored and decided to make some heart shaped curry puffs, while bigbadwolf played around with the rectangular shapes.
After all the hardwork, it was finally time to enter the oven! Phew. I had to do this over and over again since my oven could only fit two trays at one go.
Wahoo, golden brown at last! I left them to cool for abit before packing them up into different containers. These were delivered to all my lovers out there....not. I gave them to some family and friends. ;p
Teehee, that was how the heart shaped curry puff turned out in the end. Not too bad I guess! That's devilishaz trying hard not to add watery ingredients into the curry puffs, haha. I was sooo hungry, I can't believe I skipped dinner just to finish making all these!

The great tower of curry puffs.
The end.
There you have it, my first curry puff experience actually haha. Hopefully I'll learn to make prettier ones next time! Till then, I better nurse my sore throat for now. No spicy food allowed for now. T_T
