Ingredients
- 1 can of curry tuna (I use Maya brand)
- Puff pastry (Edo brand)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 medium potato
- 2 cloves of garlic
- 1 small onion
- Salt (to taste)
- Cooking oil (for frying)
Preparation Steps
-
Prepare the Puff Pastry: Remove the puff pastry from the freezer and let it thaw until soft. Once pliable, cut the pastry into squares, adjusting the size according to your preference. I personally prefer them to be not too large.
-
Prepare the Potatoes: Dice the potato into small cubes and fry them in oil until they are half-cooked. Once done, set them aside.
-
Sauté the Aromatics: Finely chop the garlic and onion. Heat a small amount of cooking oil in a pan and sauté the garlic and onion until fragrant.
-
Add the Tuna: Incorporate the curry tuna into the pan, cooking until most of the moisture evaporates. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding a little salt if needed.
-
Assemble the Puffs: Place a spoonful of the tuna mixture onto the center of each puff pastry square. Fold the pastry over to create a triangle shape and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork, ensuring they stick together.
-
Egg Wash: Brush the top of each pastry with the egg yolk for a beautiful golden finish.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven and bake the curry tuna puffs until they turn golden brown and are firm to the touch.
-
Serve and Enjoy: Once baked to perfection, remove them from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy the rich flavors of your homemade Curry Tuna Puff!
Cooking Tips
- For an extra twist, you can add diced vegetables such as bell peppers or peas to the tuna mixture for added texture and flavor.
- These puffs can be made ahead of time and frozen. Just bake them straight from the freezer, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
With each bite, these Curry Tuna Puffs promise a burst of savory goodness that will make them a favorite at any gathering or a comforting snack at home. Enjoy your culinary adventure!
