Spiral Curry Puffs

M. and I miss having those nice curry puffs filled with chicken curry and potatoes from Old Chang Kee in Singapore.. sigh... For the time being, we would just have to make our own curry puffs =). I made these spiral curry puffs for the first time recently. It was a little tedious to do the spiral curry puffs instead of the normal type of curry puffs, but it was worth the hard work because the crust turned out to be very crispy.

Ingredients A

280g flour
220ml water
1/2 tbsp lime juice
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp shortening

Ingredients B

230g flour
160 ml shortening

Fillings

800g potato
300g chicken
200g onion
some minced curry leaves
few boiled eggs, cut into small pieces (optional)

Seasonings

20g curry powder
20g sugar
salt to taste
1/2 tbsp chicken powder

Method

1. Cut potatoes, chicken and onions into small pieces.
2. Mix Ingredients A until they are well combined and smooth. Set aside for 30 minutes. Flatten the dough.
3. Mix Ingredients B and blend well.
4. Heat up some oil in a wok, fry the Fillings (except the boiled eggs) until fragrant, add Seasonings and fry well. Set aside.
5. Wrap Ingredients B with Ingredients A, flatten the dough with a rolling pin. Roll up the dough and cut into pieces. Flatten each piece.
6. Place about 1 tbsp of fillings and a small piece of boiled egg onto each piece of dough. Fold into half and pleat to seal the edge.
7. Fry the puffs in hot oil until golden brown.
