Ingredients

• 250 grams All-purpose flour
• 40 ml Vegetable oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 100 ml Water
• 300 grams Potatoes
• 100 grams Carrot
• 50 grams Green peas
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 tablespoons Curry powder
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon Sugar
• 100 ml Coconut milk
• 200 ml Cooking oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the dough. In a mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of all-purpose flour and 0.5 teaspoon of salt. Gradually add 40 ml of vegetable oil and mix until crumbly.

Step 2

Slowly incorporate 100 ml of water while kneading to form a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, prepare the filling. Peel and dice 300 grams of potatoes and 100 grams of carrot into small cubes. Finely chop 1 onion.

Step 4

Heat a pan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Saute the onion until translucent.

Step 5

Add the diced potatoes and carrots, along with 50 grams of green peas. Stir in 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 100 ml of coconut milk.

Step 6

Cook the mixture until the potatoes and carrots are tender and the liquid has evaporated. Set aside to cool.

Step 7

Divide the rested dough into 15 equal portions. Roll each portion into a small ball and flatten it into a disk of about 3 inches in diameter.

Step 8

Place a tablespoon of filling in the center of each disk. Fold over to form a semi-circle and press the edges to seal.

Step 9

Crimp the edges or use a fork to ensure the puffs are tightly sealed.

Step 10

Heat 200 ml of cooking oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the curry puffs in batches until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Remove and drain on paper towels. Serve warm.
