Combining the rich flavor of ground beef with the comforting texture of potatoes and aromatic curry spices, these little pastries are sure to be a hit with everyone. Following this simple recipe, you can easily prepare these delightful puffs at home.
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat.
- Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
- Stir in the curry paste and cook for another 1-2 minutes, ensuring it is well mixed with the onions and garlic.
- Add the ground beef to the skillet. Cook, breaking it apart with a spoon or spatula, until it is browned and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).
- Add the diced potato to the mixture and stir well to combine. Cook for another 5-10 minutes until the potatoes are tender. You may need to add a splash of water if the mixture becomes too dry.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Remove the skillet from the heat and let the filling cool slightly.
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface if needed.
- Cut each sheet into equal-sized squares (approximately 6-inch squares). Adjust the size based on preference, keeping in mind these will be folded over.
4. Assemble the Curry Puffs:
- Place about 1-2 tablespoons of the beef and potato filling in the center of each pastry square.
- Fold the pastry over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, depending on your preference.
- Press the edges together with a fork to seal them and create a decorative edge.
- Place the assembled curry puffs onto the prepared baking tray.
- If desired, brush the tops with a beaten egg to give them a golden, glossy finish.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
6. Serve:
- Allow the curry puffs to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
- Enjoy them warm as a delicious appetizer, snack, or part of your meal.
Tips:
- For a more intense curry flavor, allow the beef and potato mixture to simmer for a longer time.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, use a mild curry paste or reduce the amount used in the recipe.
- Ensure the puff pastry remains cold before baking to achieve a flaky texture.
- You can add peas or carrots to the filling for additional flavor and nutrition.
- Seal the edges of the puffs well to prevent any filling from leaking out while baking.
