Ingredients

• All-purpose flour - 200 grams
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cold water - 100 ml
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons (for dough)
• Potato - 100 grams, peeled and diced
• Carrot - 50 grams, peeled and diced
• Green peas - 50 grams (fresh or frozen)
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Curry powder - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce - 1 tablespoon
• Vegetable oil - 2 tablespoons (for filling)
• Coriander leaves - 2 tablespoons, chopped

Steps

1. In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Add 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil and rub it into the flour until it resembles breadcrumbs.
2. Gradually add cold water, mixing until a dough forms. Knead for a few minutes until smooth, then wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. In a pan, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and the onion is translucent.
4. Add the diced potato, carrot, and green peas to the pan. Sprinkle in the curry powder and soy sauce, stirring to combine. Cook for about 10 minutes until the vegetables are tender. Stir in chopped coriander leaves and remove from heat.
5. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to about 3mm thick and cut into circles (approximately 10 cm in diameter).
6. Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
7. Arrange the curry puffs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
8. Serve warm with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
