Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Coconut oil - 60 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Water - 80 ml
• Potato - 100 grams, peeled and diced
• Carrot - 50 grams, diced
• Green peas - 50 grams, fresh or frozen
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
• Curry powder - 1 tablespoon
• Turmeric powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F).
2. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Add the coconut oil and rub it into the flour until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Gradually add water and knead until a smooth dough forms. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
4. In a pan, heat a small amount of oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until translucent.
5. Add the diced potato, carrot, and green peas to the pan. Stir in the curry powder, turmeric, coriander, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender. Stir in the chopped cilantro and remove from heat.
6. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3mm thick. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass (about 10 cm in diameter).
7. Place a tablespoon of the vegetable filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.
8. Place the curry puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
9. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
