Curried Vegetables In Puff Pastry Food

CURRY PUFFS 2 WAYS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C), or heat a large pot filled halfway with cooking oil to 350°F (180°C). Place a wire rack on top of a baking sheet.
• In large pan, add the vegetable oil, onion, chicken, salt, pepper, cumin, curry powder, and cayenne. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion softens.
• Add the potatoes, peas and carrots, and milk and stir to combine. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring to break up the potatoes, until the curry thickens to the consistency of mashed potatoes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the curry cool for 30 minutes.
• Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to flatten the seams.
• Using a wine glass, cut out 8 circles from each pastry sheet.
• Scoop 1 tablespoon of the cooled curry filling in the center of a puff pastry circle. Fold the puff pastry in half, press the edges together, and seal the edges in a folding and rolling motion.
• If baking, place the curry puffs on the prepared baking sheet and brush with the egg wash. Bake for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
• If frying, add the curry puffs to the hot oil in batches and fry for 5 minutes, until golden brown.
• Let cool for 10 minutes before serving.
• Enjoy!

VEGETABLE CURRY PIES

Steps:

• Peel and wash the potato, sweet potato and carrot and dice into 1 cm cube pieces.
• In a large frying pan on medium to high heat, add the coconut oil and onion. Saute using a wooden spoon to ensure the onion doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan until the onion is translucent. Add in the garlic and vegetables and continue to saute for a few minutes. Add in the curry powder and continue to cook until the vegetables are covered and fragrant.
• Add the coconut milk and mix well, scraping the bottom of the pan to ensure no onion or curry powder is stuck. Once mixed through, turn the heat down to simmer for 10 minutes until the coconut milk starts to thicken. Add in the peas and corn and salt to taste, and mix through. Place a lid on the pan and continue to simmer for another 10 minutes or until the vegetables are soft. Set aside and let the mixture cool slightly.
• To make the pies, get the sheets of puff pastry out of the freezer and let defrost for about 5 minutes on the bench (how much pastry you need will depend on the size of your pie tins). Preheat the oven to 180°C.
• Use one of the tins to measure 6 x circles that are exactly the same size as the top of the tin, which will be the lid of the pies. Next, draw out 6 x circles that are 1.5 cm larger than the edge of your pie tin. These will be for the base of the pie. Grease 4 individual pie tins with oil spray and press in the larger circle of pastry. Add in spoonfuls of the vegetable mixture until the tin is full. Brush the edge of the pastry with the beaten egg and place the smaller circle of pastry on top, pressing the edges down with a fork.
• Cut into the top of the pie to allow steam to release in the oven, and brush the top with more egg wash. Place on a tray in the oven for 20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Serve immediately.
