Gary Rhodes' Malaysian curry puffs recipe
- 750 g (26.5oz) Potatoes, boiled in their skins until tender
- 1 tbsp Cooking oil
- 3 Medium onions, finely chopped
- 2 Large cloves of garlic, crushed
- 1 Level tbsp medium curry powder
- 1 Finely grated zest and juice of 1 lime
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 1 pinch Pepper
- 1 pinch Sugar
- 2 375g sheets of pre-rolled puff pastry
- 1 Flour, for dusting
- 1 Egg, beaten
- 150 ml (5.3fl oz) Natural yoghurt
- 1 Fresh ripe mango cut into cubes and 1 tsp honey, or 4 tbsp of mango puree
- 1 Squeeze of lime
- Warm the oil in a large saucepan.
- Once hot, add the chopped onions, garlic, curry powder, lime zest and juice, simmering gently until softened, allowing the onions to slightly colour.
- Once at this stage, season with salt, pepper and a generous pinch of sugar.
- Meanwhile, peel the cooked potatoes and cut into 1 cm dice, seasoning with salt and pepper.
- Stir the cooked potatoes into the cooked onions, allowing them to slightly break, but still maintaining some texture.
- Re-check for seasonings and leave to cool.
- Roll the pastry sheets so they are a little thinner and approx 1-2 times their original size.
- Allow to rest for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
- Divide each of the rolled pastry sheets into 6-8 squares, saving any trimmings.
- Brush the border of each square with a little of the beaten egg.
- Divide and place a tablespoon of the potato mix onto 1 half of each folding over the remaining half and sealing each together.
- Refrigerate to rest and firm.
- The pastry trimmings can now be re-rolled, dividing the sheet into more squares, and continue as above.
- Once firm, using a round cutter, trim to achieve a pasty or turnover semi-circle shape, leaving a slight border around each.
- These can now be brushed with the remaining beaten egg before baking at 180C-190C in a fan assisted oven for approx 30-35 minutes or until a crisp golden brown.
- The puffs are now ready to serve with the mango dip.
- To make the mango yoghurt dip, simply blitz all of the ingredients together in a blender until smooth.
