Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 3 minutes until softened.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the ground beef to the pan and cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until browned all over and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Stir in the curry paste and cook for 2 minutes, ensuring the beef is well coated.
- Add the finely diced carrot and peas, and continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the chopped coriander leaves and lemon juice, mixing well to combine.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheets if needed to smooth out any folds or creases.
- Cut each puff pastry sheet into equal squares (about 4-6 squares per sheet, depending on desired size).
- Place a spoonful of the beef filling onto the center of each puff pastry square.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, depending on the cut and shape of your squares.
- Press the edges together with a fork to seal the puffs and avoid spillage during baking.
- Lightly beat the egg in a small bowl.
- Brush the tops of the sealed pastry puffs with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color once baked.
- Place the prepared curry puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove from the oven and let the curry puffs cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as is. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F) to ensure it's hot enough to bake the puff pastry evenly.
- Make sure to finely chop the onion, garlic, and carrot so they cook evenly and blend well with the ground beef.
- Cook the filling thoroughly, allowing the flavors to meld together before filling the pastry.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets ahead of time, making them easier to work with and preventing cracks.
- Seal the edges of the puff pastry well to keep the filling inside during baking.
- Brush the tops of the puffs with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
- Allow the beef curry puffs to cool slightly on a wire rack after baking to preserve their crispness.
Enjoy these delectable beef curry puffs hot out of the oven, or serve them at room temperature. The combination of savory beef, aromatic spices, and crisp pastry will have everyone coming back for more. Serve them with a side of chutney or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
