Categories     Lunch

Yield 12 puffs

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, finely diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 lb lean ground beef
2 tablespoons McCormick® Curry Powder
½ teaspoon Mccormick® ground cumin
¼ teaspoon sugar
¼ teaspoon McCormick® black pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
⅔ cup beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 sheets frozen puff pastry
1 large egg
1 tablespoon water
12 sprigs fresh cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent and starting to caramelize.
  • Add the ground beef and cook, breaking up with a spatula, until the beef is cooked through and browned, about 4-6 minutes. Drain off any excess grease.
  • Add the McCormick® Curry Powder, cumin, sugar, pepper, and salt. Stir until well combined, about 2 minutes more.
  • Pour the beef broth into a liquid measuring cup and stir in the cornstarch until dissolved, then pour into the skillet with the beef. Stir to combine, then bring to a simmer. Cook until the liquid has thickened and no longer pools, 3-5 minutes. Transfer the beef mixture to a bowl and let cool completely.
  • While the meat is cooling, remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let sit at room temperature for 25-35 minutes, until thawed but still firm. Unfold the puff pastry sheets and cut each into 6 roughly 5-inch squares.
  • Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Spoon 2½-3 tablespoons of the beef filling onto the center of each pastry square. Fold diagonally to form triangles, pressing the edges together and being careful to keep the filling from touching the edges of the pastry. Crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
  • Chill the curry puffs on the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 20 minutes to firm up the pastry.
  • Arrange a rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.
  • Remove one tray of puffs from the refrigerator and use a pastry brush to brush the egg wash over the puffs. Bake for 18-20 minutes, until puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and repeat with the remaining puffs.
  • Let the puffs rest for 10 minutes, then top each with a sprig of cilantro before serving.
  • Enjoy!

CURRY PUFFS 2 WAYS RECIPE BY TASTY



Curry Puffs 2 Ways Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: vegetable oil, medium white onion, chicken breast, salt, black pepper, ground cumin, curry powder, cayenne, medium russet potatoes, frozen peas, frozen carrot, whole milk, all-purpose flour, puff pastry, egg

Provided by Frank Tiu

Categories     Appetizers

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
½ medium white onion, diced
1 ½ lb chicken breast, cubed
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 tablespoons curry powder
½ teaspoon cayenne
2 medium russet potatoes, cooked and diced
1 cup frozen peas, cooked
1 cup frozen carrot, cooked
2 cups whole milk
all-purpose flour, for dusting
4 sheets puff pastry, thawed
1 egg, beated, if baking

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), or heat a large pot filled halfway with cooking oil to 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
  • In large pan, add the vegetable oil, onion, chicken, salt, pepper, cumin, curry powder, and cayenne. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens.
  • Add the potatoes, peas and carrots, and milk and stir to combine. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring to break up the potatoes, until the curry thickens to the consistency of mashed potatoes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the curry cool for 30 minutes.
  • Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to flatten the seams.
  • Using a wine glass, cut out 8 circles from each pastry sheet.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of the cooled curry filling in the center of a puff pastry circle. Fold the puff pastry in half, press the edges together, and seal the edges in a folding and rolling motion.
  • If baking, place the curry puffs on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • If frying, add the curry puffs to the hot oil in batches and fry for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • For a flaky pastry, make sure to use cold butter and handle the dough as little as possible.
  • If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour, one tablespoon at a time, until it is easy to handle.
  • Roll out the dough thinly, about 1/8 inch thick. This will help the curry puffs cook evenly.
  • When filling the curry puffs, leave a little space at the edges so that they can be sealed properly.
  • To prevent the curry puffs from bursting, brush them with beaten egg before baking.
  • Bake the curry puffs until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 20 minutes.

Curry puffs are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a quick and easy meal.
