Chicken Curry Puffs Recipes

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.

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.

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!
