I have to confess that I’ve been on a curry puff craze lately. Anyone who’s ever eaten a curry puff will know that these deep-fried stuffed pastries always hit the spot once you bite into that crispy, crumbly, buttery crust, and that delicious, savoury stuffing inside. I hardly ever stop at one, and I particularly enjoy eating generously sized puffs like the ones I’ll be showing you how to make here.
Have you always felt daunted, even somewhat intimidated by the prospect of making curry puffs from scratch? If you do, then this post is for home cooks like you (and me!).

And I’ll be showing you here step-by-step how to to make these delicious puffs.
