Hi Ann,
My mixer doesn't come with the dough hook. Is it possible to mix by hand? How long will I need to knead the mixture for? Thank you.
LL
Hi LL, Yes, you can try to mix the dough by hand until soft and not sticky. Don't have to knead the dough for too long as this will make the dough to too dough. You can also use frozen puff pastry too.
Ann, I did this today with your filling recipe and it was really yummy!!!! I didn't want to deep fry it so I used the recipe for Eurasian curry puff where I can bake. It turned out really well. both skin and filling!! As usual, my husband loved it!!By the way, I also did another type of filling where I used bbq sauce instead of the curry powder and it turned out very well too! Thanks so much for sharing!!!!
Hi Ai Li, you're so clever to bake the curry puff instead. Definitely more healthier than deep fried. Next time I also want to try bbq sauce. BTW you mean you used another dough skin recipe to bake? Can share with me? 🙂
Yes I used another recipe for the dough skin. I am more than happy to share with you :-
500gm flour
1/2tsp salt
250gm butter – at room temperature
3tbs ice water
1 egg yolk – beaten
Place flour in a mixing bowl, add salt and mix well. Using fingertips to rub butter into flour. Add water and egg yolk, mix to form a dough. Place dough in a plastic bag and refrigerate for 30mins before use.
Ann, for the bbq filling, this is the recipe….
2 potatoes
250gm chicken breast
1 to 2tsp oil
2 onions (I increased to 2, original is 1 onion)
1tsp minced garlic
1tsp salt
2tbs sugar
Bbq sauce
Wash and peel potatoes, dice into cubes and steam for 10mins and set aside. Poach chicken in water for 10mins. Drain and cut into cubes. Heat oil and fry onions and garlic until onions are wilted. Add chicken, potatoes, salt and sugar and fry for a while. Add bbq sauce and continue frying until mixture is fragrant. Leave to cool.
The above recipes are used to make Eurasian Pattie Curry Puff
Hi Ai Li, thank you very much for your generous sharing on your recipes. I definitely love to try them.
Happy weekend 🙂
Hi Ann, you are most welcome! I am very glad that I have something which I can share with you….do try and let me know how you find it. Thanks!
Ann, what is the diameter of the pastry? How many can you make? Thanks!
Ai Li, I don't quite remember how many puff can I make in this recipe but by looking at the quail eggs in the recipe is around 16-20 pcs. It really depends on the size of your pastry. Why not try half of the recipe without the egg first.
Thank you, Ann!
Great looking empanadas! I must admit, I've never used curry in them but now…
Thanks for the info!
Hello Yin, The skin of this recipe is quite crispy even after one hour. I am not sure about not adding egg into it. Maybe you would like to take a look at My Kitchen's site @http://mykitch3n.blogspot.com/2010/03/curry-puff.html
I think her curry puff also looks yummy 🙂
hi thanks for the reply. sorry i was referring to the egg for the skin. can i omit it? thanks.
Hi Yin, Of course you can omit the egg if you don't like it. No need defrost, deep fry straight away. Because defrost will cause the skin soggy.
hi, this looks really good. may i know is it ok to omit the egg? and do we need to defrost the puffs 1st before frying? thx!
You can use puff pastry to wrap the curry filling instead. I don't think is suitable to bake with the skin pastry – not cripsy.
Love this one Anncoo. I wonder whether I can bake these instead. It's such a hassle to do deep frying at home.
Thank you CBL. Should try this recipe bcse even after deep fried for more than 1 hour the skin still remain crispy.
Ur curry puff looks good!
I didn't add coconut milk to the curry filling when I made curry puff, I think I should try ur recipe one of these days.
Wow! this look delicious:)
Quite easy to make, think you can easily get curry powder at your area. I use deep fryer to fry the curry puff so the kitchen is free of oil.
Wow, those curry puffs look yummy.. mmm.. quite missing tis coz i never eat it for quite some times already.. ^_^
