Karipap, also known as curry puff, is a popular pastry snack originating from Southeast Asia, particularly Malaysia and Singapore. This savory treat features a flaky, golden-brown crust made from deep-fried dough, encasing a flavorful filling typically composed of spiced potatoes, onions, and occasionally meat such as chicken or sardines. The filling is infused with curry powder, offering a rich and aromatic taste. While Karipap is admired for its satisfying crunch and bold flavors, it is not considered a health food. Its deep-fried preparation increases its caloric content and fat levels, which may be a concern for those monitoring their dietary fat intake. However, it contains ingredients like potatoes and onions, which supply vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Karipap is best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet, and healthier baked versions are becoming more widely available for the health-conscious.
