Ingredients
  

Curry Filling:

  • 1 can 15 oz garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons ginger finely minced
  • 1 cup Yukon gold potatoes cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3/4 cup coconut milk

Puff Pastry:

  • 1 sheet Dufour puff pastry or similar brand
  • All-purpose flour for dusting

Egg Wash:

  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 teaspoon water

Instructions
 

Prepare the Curry Filling:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Incorporate the chopped onion and sauté for approximately 5 minutes, or until it becomes tender.
  • Add the minced garlic and ginger, cooking for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Stir in the potatoes, curry powder, turmeric, cumin, sugar, salt, and black pepper.
  • Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the potatoes start to soften.
  • Add the drained chickpeas and coconut milk.
  • Stir well and let the mixture simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the filling is creamy.

Prepare the Puff Pastry:

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Lightly dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Cut the pastry into 4-5 inch squares (or any desired shape) to create your curry puffs.

Fill and Seal the Puffs:

  • Place a spoonful of the curry filling in the center of each pastry square.
  • Fold the pastry over the filling to create a triangle or rectangle shape, pressing the edges to seal.

Apply the Egg Wash:

  • In a small bowl, combine the egg and water, then whisk them together to create an egg wash.
  • Brush the top of each puff with the egg wash for a golden, shiny finish.

Bake:

  • Place the curry puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them slightly apart.
  • Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is risen and has a golden-brown hue.

Serve:

  • Allow the curry puffs to cool for a few minutes before serving.
  • Enjoy them warm as a delightful snack or appetizer.
