Dough B :

500 g All-purpose flour
50 g sugar
200 g butter or margarine
180 ml water

  1. Wash and peel potatoes. Boil until cooked through and cut into cubes. (Use a fork, if it can poke thru potatoes easily then it is done.)

  3. Add chicken meat, and fry until almost cooked, add mixed vegetables, and salt and fry until cooked throught.

Dough B :
  1. Sift flour.
  2. Add butter and sugar and knead, slowly add in water and work into a smooth dough.
  3. Divide into small balls (in equal amount to Dough A)

Making the curry puff...
  1. Wrap one Dough A with Dough B to form a ball.
  2. Dust extra flour onto working surface to prevent sticking.
  3. Using a rolling pin, flatten it into a rectangular, then roll up to form a cylinder, fold length-wise into half and shape into a ball.
  4. Flatten this ball until about .5 cm thick and wrap with fillings.
  5. Twist pattern along open edges.
  6. Place on trays that are slightly dusted with flour (to prevent sticking).
  7. Heat 2 bowl of cooking oil in work and deep fry curry puffs until golden brown.
