How to Make Baked Curry Puffs

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a wok or large pan over medium heat. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and sauté until golden brown (about 1 minute). Add 1 medium chopped onion and 1 inch of grated ginger and cook until softened (about 3 minutes).
  2. Add 1 pound ground meat (beef, chicken, or pork) and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 2 minutes.
  3. Add 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced, and cook for 2-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons curry powder, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are almost tender (about 10-15 minutes). Add more water if needed to maintain a saucy consistency.
  5. Add 1 cup mixed frozen vegetables (carrots, corn, parsnips, peas; thawed) and 1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander. Cook for 2-3 minutes until vegetables are slightly softened.
  6. Remove from heat and let the filling cool completely.
  7. Preheat oven to 185°C (365°F).
  8. Cut 1 package (14.1 oz) puff pastry into 4-inch by 4-inch squares.
  9. Place a spoonful of the cooled filling onto one half of each pastry square.
  10. Brush edges of the pastry with water. Fold over to form a rectangle or triangle, pressing firmly to seal the edges. Crimp with a fork for a decorative finish.
  11. Brush the puffs with an egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon of water).
  12. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed up.
  13. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
