Ingredients for making curry puff

Hello TT'ers,

anyone know where I can get the ingredients for making "curry puff" or even buying them frozen ?

thanks,
Dino

Obviously I'm going to be of no help whatsoever... what is 'curry puff'?

It is kind of a pastry with filling...like potatoes, meat...etc and fried...
tasty!

Like a samosa?

Veggie curry puff recipe how bout that?

Dunno about making your own, but you could try Champor.

close, but not quite...

Been there...tried..but wanna make them myself!

Then it would be helpful if you post a recipe and then someone can point you where to get those ingredients.

Seems to be stuff you can get pretty much anywhere.

Found this by googling...

Actually I think I can find all ingredients here in Munich...thanks..

If anyone finds "already prepared" curry puff in any place around munich, do let me know. ( want to let my friends try a bit before I start putting effort there )

thanks.

I haven't seen any in any parts of Germany I've been to! Maybe I should contact Old Chang Kee if they want to open shop here. ANYWAY, I make them myself. If you want a recipe, here's one

Edit: Just saw your post again. The recipe I use and this one I've posted do not call for Masterfoods ingredients - what you really need is potatoes really...

Thanks Zimmer,
actually your recipe looks more like it. Will try.

Do you deliver what you make...?
EDIT: Opps..just saw that you are in Hamburg.! too bad.!

Sorry, haven't considered taking orders unless you mean if the puffs taste good from the recipe, it's YES!! Got a cook-friend to testify Oh, and the dough might sound difficult to make but damn easy

Edit: Another tip: Forget about the water dough and oil dough. All you need is just one dough/layer with these ingredients:

- 500g flour
- 50g sugar
- 180g oil
- 160g or more water

Mix them together to form a dough and cut into equal pieces, flatten out and cut out circles to wrap the potatoes filling.

Do you make the teig yourself also ?

Thanks.

what do you do when you have flattened out the pastry, what is inside, and what is the next step.
I also live in SE Asia area for a long time and like curry puffs

Well,

Its not that tough. You dont need to struggle to make the wrappers base. They are available ready made in almost all super markets. They are the sheet noodle types. Just buy a pack and make the stuff yourself. like veg mix or chicken mix roll them and fry them.

I will ask my wife exactly what these wrappers are called in the supermarket.

yes thanks, that would help if I know the name and maybe a the lcoation to buy...then I can make the filling myself for a start.

thanks.

See the recipe link I provided above. After you flatten out the pastry, cut them out in circles, put the filling in the centre and fold the pastry to cover the fillings like an omelette and stick the sides together. If you have had curry puff before, you can imagine how the sides are stucked together. That's what I did and sorry, don't have a video to show you how For the fillings, I make only with potatoes filling since it was the only ingredients lying around the house at the time. You can do beef + potatoes, chicken + potatoes, potatoes + peas, or sardines. OR char siew if you know how!

@jackal, have your wife made curry puff with those teig in the shop? I'm not convinced that it's the same kind of teig and since I don't know the name of the kind of ready-made teig to find in the shop and since it's so easy and (maybe) healthier to make the pastry myself, I never had to search for this teig in the shop. Also better to have made the whole thing myself

No, not the tieg, this is mainly used to do pizza's right. The layers are exact fit to make the curry puff's. You dont need to cut at all. Now I understand how easy it is to eat and how difficult to explain or make what I eat! I am lucky that my wife does this.

I think these are the same layers used to make the Hoernchen's. Do you know these, these are the horn like things avlbl in the bakeries mostly for the breakfast. You just roll in them and fill the whole plate of the oven and put them inside for some 10 mins. They are really upto 100% original in looks and taste as well.

But you have to wait until evng 8 pm to get the perfect answer, or I have to search my home pc which has some gig loads of files with recipes.

@jackal: No. Pizza teig won't do. A good curry puff is determined by the pastry (besides the filling of course) and a pizza teig will not do. The texture of a curry puff pastry should be a cross between a pizza and a croissant. There are different types of curry puffs too: Singaporean, Malaysian, Indian even Spanish! (Found that in a Tapas book) AND a curry puff is small bite-size thing so you still need to cut the whole pizza teig thing into at least 4 small circles

well, actually i got the info. The teig for the croissant will be available in all suprmarkts. They are in the deep freezers. The image on the cover will also display something like similar to croissant or puffs.

Just put the stuff before use out of the freezer until they are having normal temp and then the sheets are very soft, just put the stuff and roll them. Put it in the oven for the said time.

I am sure you will enjoy it.

@zimmer, i said clearly no to the pizza teig, there is a special teig available in the freezer sections in the form of small sheets for this purpose.

So, yesterday I made the curry puff.
Hope the pics get uploaded.
I used the deep frozen teig found in the supermarkt. It tasted OK. Maybe the selfmade version is better, but ...for now I am happy.

Here are the basic steps in pic form.
