I made curry puffs last Saturday. Wasn't much of a success, Husband didn't gobble them up and now I am eating the final one. Haha.
In my opinion though I think it's a decent start. It's my first time making them on my own. The filling was good, but the dough sadly I forgot to add salt and I could have made the dough thinner. I always forget the salt. Or even if I do remember, it's so scant that Husband thinks I didn't put any at all. I'm not a big fan of salt anyway haha.
The curry puff was filled with boiled potatoes, minced meat and quarter of a boiled egg.
Below is the recipe for the filling:
6 medium potatoes, boiled, peeled & diced
5 boiled eggs, cut into fours
400g minced meat (I like lotsa meat in my curry puffs)
1 tsp salt (too little I guess?)
2 medium onions, sliced
1 tsp ground black pepper
1 1/2 tsp chili powder
6-8 tbsp curry powder? I didn't measure
About 15 curry leaves
I had some filling leftover, but I guess if I rolled the dough a bit more thinner I would have finished using the filling. All in all I got 18 curry puffs.
I asked my mum for the dough recipe and to my horror she said there's none. Gasp. Agak-agak only. Oh help. She said just use flour, warm water and warm oil and salt. Add warm water to the flour but not until so soft then add the oil. I'm like, how I know when it's soft?! So all in all I tried and I used about 400g of flour, 1 cup of warm water and few tbsp of oil. And no salt remember? HAHA. I should have rolled the dough thinner so that it'll be more crispy, but this does taste like my mommy's curry puff. Yay! But if you see the hideous picture above haha, I clearly don't know how to pintal the rounded edges I anyhow whack! Haha! I sent the picture to my mum and she said not bad lah for a first time. She suspected that the dough was too soft hence the lack of shape. Oh wells. I can try again next time!
