How to Make Beef Curry Puffs

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced.
  2. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of your favorite curry paste and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  4. Add 1 pound ground beef and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain any excess fat.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 2 tablespoons mango chutney (or chutney of your choice), and 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (e.g., carrots, peas, bell peppers).
  6. Allow the beef mixture to cool completely before assembling the puffs.
  7. On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 package (14.1 oz) of puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 10cm cookie cutter to cut out rounds.
  8. Place a heaped teaspoon of the cooled beef mixture onto the center of each pastry round. Brush the edges of the pastry with 1 beaten egg.
  9. Fold the pastry over the filling to form a half-moon shape and press the edges firmly with a fork to seal.
  10. Repeat with the remaining pastry rounds and beef mixture.
  11. Place the puffs onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg.
  12. Bake at 190°C (375°F) for 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
  13. Serve the warm curry puffs with sweet chili dipping sauce.
