Curry Puff is a Malaysian snack filled with curried potatoes and chicken meat, wrapped with a crispy pastry shell. They are popular in both Malaysian and Singapore; they are deep-fried and commonly sold by street vendors or hawkers.
Authentic curry puffs call have a spiral shape, wrapped with a pastry shell that is made from scratch, consisting of oil dough and water dough.
This is a baked curry puff recipe, using a store-bought puff pastry shell, which is quick, easy and delicious nonetheless.

I get these often from a local Thai Cafe and they’re served with a vinegar sauce with cucumbers and cilantro. Do you have a recipe for this awesome dipping sauce?
Rasa Malaysia
Sorry but I am not sure.
Rosie SUBRAMANIAM
The dipping sauce is primarily has sugar in it I find the sugar levels too dangerous for my health The flavour changes and has too much sweetness in it. Please be careful of eating such items. However, South Indian dips chutneys are much better in health for you and tastier on the palate.

Hi Bee,
Thank you for the curry puff recipe. I made it today for afternoon tea and came out well. The only changes I did was to double the chillie powder and eliminate the sugar as all of us here love a bit chilli hot puffs. Even our parish priest enjoyed. Thank you and God bless you

Hello Bee
My name is Debbie 😂
I was wondering if a person could freeze the “puff” before trying them. I would like to keep some, – ready to fry when needed.
Many thanks
Debbie

This recipe is fantastic. Always a winner and the filling is just divine. Hard to resist eating the filling alone before folding them.

I meant to give 5 star ratings instead of 4. Amazing recipe! I used store-bought pastry instead of making it from scratch. They turned out really well!
