Today is the Czech girls last day in our lab, so we decided to throw another lunch party. Prepared some beef curry puffs for everybody. I think Zumla finished 5 or 6 pieces. She obviously liked it sooo much and Katka finished the last piece. Here is the recipe.
Ingredients:
For the pastry:
1 kg plain flour
200 g margerine/ butter
2 cups water
1/2 tsp salt
The filling
1/2 kg mince meat
3 tbs curry or korma powder
1/2 Holland onion- chopped
1 Holland onion- diced
3 garlic- crushed
1/2 inch ginger-crushed
salt, white pepper, a dash of sugar
5 potatoes- diced to 1/2 cm small
Methods:
1. Fry the chopped onion, garlic, ginger.
2. Add the curry powder, then add 1/2 cup of water.
3. Add the mince meat, fry for 5 minutes then add the diced potatoes and 1 cup of water.
4. Add diced onion. Cover the pot with a lid and let the potatoes soften.
5. Season with salt and pepper. I also sprinkled some sugar. Set aside to cool down.
6. Mix the flour, butter, salt and water together to form a dough.
7. Flatten the dough to about 3-4 mm thick with a rolling pin.
8. Using a pastry round cutter, make several circles and place the meat and potato filling on each pastry and fold it into two.
9. Press the edges of the pastry firmly to make sure there is no filling leakage.
10. Make a plait at the edges using the tip of your thumb and index finger.
11. Deep fry till the pastry turns brown in colour. Serve hot with tea/ coffee.
