When I first share this with a South American friend, she thought that it was empanada. Even Lil’ C calls it empanada. She learned it from Dora! She refuses to call it curry puff! I guess they are pretty similar since both are stuffed pastry and they are wrapped the same way.

Back to my curry puff, I have tried making a few different types of curry puff but I always find myself coming back to my shortcut curry puff which is using store bought pie crust. They are so easy and most importantly, taste really good. Yes, I do deep-fry it instead of baking the pie crust. If you like to make it from scratch, I usually use the spiral curry puff recipe from Jo’s Deli.

Mise en place: cooked curry chicken filling, hard-boiled egg & pie crust

Want one?

By the way, out of curiousity, do you put a wedge of hard-boiled egg in your curry puff? I grew up eating Old Chang Kee curry puff which does have hard-boiled egg in it. So I was a little surprised when some of my Malaysian friends thought it was strange to have eggs in their curry puff. What do you think?

As seen on my blog, I cook and bake a lot. I also shop a lot, mostly for baking tools and kitchen gadgets. I used to love going to baking supply shops and browse around for new and interesting gadgets. However now that I have a preschooler, it is very hard to do that anymore. So I tend to shop online nowadays.

Shopping online is very convenient but the downside is that it makes us more vulnerable to identity theft. Identity theft is a very serious crime and it could ruin all of us financially. This is where Lifelock comes in. Lifelock helps to protect our identity with the latest identity theft protection system. How does lifelock work?
