Instructions

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until fully done.
Add diced potatoes and curry powder, stirring until potatoes are tender and coated in spices (about 10–15 minutes).
Stir in chopped hard-boiled eggs, season to taste, and let the filling cool completely.
Roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thick and cut into 4-inch circles using a cutter.
Place a spoonful of filling in the center of each circle, then fold over to form a half-moon shape. Crimp edges with a fork to seal.
To Fry: Heat oil in a skillet and fry each puff for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
To Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Brush puffs with egg wash and bake for 20–25 minutes until puffed and golden.
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy with sweet chili sauce or chutney.

Notes

Ensure the filling is completely cooled before adding it to the pastry to prevent sogginess.

For vegetarian puffs, replace chicken with extra potatoes, peas, or carrots.

For a creamier filling, stir in a splash of coconut milk.

Make mini curry puffs for parties using smaller cutters.

Freeze cooked or uncooked puffs for later and bake directly from frozen.
