Curry Puffs is a snack of Southeast Asian origin in which the curry-flavored chicken and potatoes are stuffed in a flaky crust and then fried to perfection! You may either bake it like a pie or fry it to get that flaky goodness!

I chose the fried version as it was so tempting when I saw it! If you are HEALTH conscious and need a healthy version try baking it! Here the flavors of the filling are too good that, they are very close to our Indian cuisine!

Here to get that flaky crust, frying part is very important! Never fry it on high flame, always fry it on medium-low flame with patience to get that perfect flaky golden crust! While referring to Southeast Asian Cuisine Marion’s kitchen is my fav, here I simplified the crust part as it needs a lot more steps and patience! The recipe is inspired from there!
