Best 2 Chicken Curry Puffs Recipes

BAKED CHICKEN CURRY PUFFS

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 200 degrees C (fan-forced) or 200 C conventional.
• Add the potatoes to a pot of boiling water and cook until just soft. Drain and set aside.
• In the meantime, toast the first 3 spices (cloves, peppercorns, cardamon) in a medium size saucepan over a medium heat, until just beginning to smoke and becoming aromatic. Remove from heat and set aside in bowl,
• Add the next 2 spices (cinammon and chilies), and repeat toasting instructions. Remove and add to same bowl as the other toasted spices.
• Add the last 4 spices (coriander, cumin, fennel and tumeric powder) and repeat toasting. Remove and add to same bowl as the other toasted spices.
• When the spices have cooled, grind with either a mortar and pestle, or in coffee grinder. (Note: I like my spice mix fine, so after grinding in mortar and pestle, I sieve the mixture using a fine net sieve).
• Set the spice mixture aside (when cooled, store in a jar).
• Add a bit of spray oil to the saucepan pan, add the chicken and cook until browned all over and cooked through. Remove and add to a medoim-sized bowl.
• Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of the spice mix to the chicken.
• If needed, add a bit more oil to the pan, and cook the onion until browned, about 4-5 minutes.
• Add the garlic and cook for a further minute.
• Return the chicken and spice mix, and the drained potatoes to the saucepan.
• Cook for a further minutes until all ingredients have mixed in together.
• Add in the sugar and salt, and stir.
• Remove from pan, and add back into the medium bowl. Leave to cool for about 10 minutes.
• Thaw out the puff pastry sheets, and cut each sheet into 9 squares.
• When the mixture has cooled a little, add a heaped teaspoon into the centre of one the pastry square.
• Fold square in half, and pinch edges together to form a triangle shape.
• Place triangles on an oven tray, and spray with oil.
• Cook for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

CHICKEN CURRY PUFFS

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in coriander, turmeric, cumin, and curry powder. Cook a few seconds until fragrant. Pour in coconut milk, onions, lemon grass, and red pepper; cook until the vegetables are tender, about 7 minutes. Stir in potato and continue cooking for 12 minutes, adding more coconut milk if the mixture becomes too dry. Stir in the chicken, then season with salt. Cook and stir until chicken and potato has absorbed most of the liquid, then spread mixture on a plate to cool.
• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Unfold puff pastry and cut each sheet into 9 squares. Place heaping spoonfuls of the filling in the center of each square. Gather all 4 corners of the pastry and pinch together at the top, forming a small pouch. Place each pastry on the baking sheet, about 1 inch apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 22 to 27 minutes. Cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before removing to cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
