Instructions:
Making the Fillings:
- Heat some oil in a wok and fry the potatoes until golden brown. Remove from the wok and set aside.
- In the same wok, add more oil and fry the chicken meat with onions, carrots, and green peas.
- Return the potatoes to the wok and add salt, curry powder, and light soy sauce. Stir-fry until well combined. Set aside.
Outer Skin:
- Mix 200g of flour with 50ml of oil to form a dough.
- Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin sheet, about 1/2 cm thick and 13cm in diameter.
Inner Skin:
- Mix 100g of flour with water to form a dough.
- Divide the dough into equal pieces and roll each piece into a thin sheet, same as the outer skin.
Making the Curry Puff Skins:
- Take one piece of outer skin dough and roll it into a ball. Repeat with inner skin dough.
- Press the two circular pastry balls together and flatten with a rolling pin on a floured surface.
- Cut out round pieces about 12-13cm in diameter from the flattened pastry.
Assembling the Curry Puffs:
- Place a portion of the filling and a slice of egg onto the center of each pastry round.
- Fold the pastry over to form a half-circle, enclosing the filling. Press lightly to seal the edges.
- Pleat and twist the edges to flute them, ensuring a secure seal.
Cooking Method:
- Heat 180ml of oil in a deep fryer or large pan.
- Carefully place the assembled curry puffs into the hot oil and fry until golden brown.
- Remove from oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.

Tips:
- Be mindful not to overfill the pastry, as it may be difficult to seal properly.
