Baking Curry Puffs

I helped Mom to bake some curry puffs this afternoon. First we made the filling. We had onions, chicken, potatoes stir-fried in curry paste.

Then Mom made the pastry dough. There were 2 layers of pastry. The first layer was a mixture of flour, sugar, spry and boiling water. Mom called it the water pastry. The second or inner layer was just flour and spry.

My job was to roll both pastry doughs into little balls. Then I had to flatten a ball of water pastry and stuff it with a ball of inner pastry.

Mom then took those balls, rolled them out, filled them with curry filling, folded into a half-moon shape, and sealed the edges.

When done, we brushed the puffs with beaten eggs, and popped them into the oven. We baked at 180 deg for 30 minutes.

Let the puffs cool for a little while.

And then eat! Yum .... ;p
