CURRY PUFF


All time favourite for the young and old, simply irresistible. This snack is stuffed with potato, cooked in spices, deep fried until golden brown. The outer wrap is rather crispy but filling is quite spicy. Addition of meat or chicken is optional. It is so famous and easily obtainable from hawker stalls as well as upmarket eateries.

3 cups plain flour
3 tablespoons hot oil
3 tablespoons butter/margarine melted
water
salt

5 potatoes cubed
3 tablespoons curry powder
1/2 tablespoon chili powder
2 onions chopped
1 teaspoon ginger paste
1 teaspoon garlic paste
