Let's Get Started
- In a large pan, heat some oil and sauté the onions until translucent.
- Add the diced potatoes and cook until they are slightly tender.
- Add the curry powder, turmeric powder, ground cumin, and ground coriander. Stir well to coat the potatoes and onions with the spices.
- Add the frozen peas and cooked chicken. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
- Remove the pan from heat and let the filling cool completely.
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface. Cut out circles using a round cutter.
- Place a spoonful of the cooled filling onto each pastry circle. Fold the pastry over to form a half-moon shape and seal the edges by pressing with a fork.
- Brush the tops of the curry puffs with beaten egg for a golden finish.
- Place the curry puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the curry puffs hot as a delicious appetizer or snack.
