Easy Curry puff with sweet potatoes



Traditional curry puffs are made of dough and filled with potato chunks that have been cooked in a spicy, flavorful curry before being deep-fried. The original version requires making two different types of dough and a series of complicated techniques to wrap them.

Potatoes and spices are typically used to make curry puff filling. These can also occasionally be made with minced meat. Curry puffs are a favourite among all people and are frequently used as a snack. Today, I am making my curry puff using a quick shortcut spring roll wrapper

Let me tell you quietly, I even served it as one of the Chinese New Year dishes. These curry puffs are wonderfully tasty, easy to make, and suitable for the whole family. To kick it up a level for the adults, I suggest using sweet chili sauce.  

One adjustment I made to the filling was to swap out the potatoes for sweet potatoes. The filling texture will be tested creamy. Thanks for the advice given by a Facebook food group friend.

They are simple to make and the best party appetizers. If you've never tasted it, you will be amazed. Due to the use of a spring roll wrapper and the absence of curry paste, this recipe is actually very easy to make. These simple curry puffs will satisfy even the most omnivorous among us because I prepare the filling without any meat.

My family is pretty obsessed with these easy homemade curry puffs. You will be amazed if you have not tasted it.

 

INGREDIENTS

1 big orange sweet potato (about 250g), peeled and cut into a small cube shape

1 ½ tbsp vegetable oil

½ cup small, diced onion

2 tsp curry powder

A pinch of salt

1 ½ tbsp soy sauce

1 ½ tsp sugar

¼ tsp ground white pepper

10 cilantro stems, finely chopped

25 sheets of 8 ½ -inch spring roll wrappers

1 beaten egg

Some vegetable oil for frying

 



METHODS

1. Steam sweet potatoes for 10 minutes, or until a fork can be inserted and the pieces are tender but not mushy.

2. In a wok, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add onion, season with salt, and sauté until the onion is translucent. Once the onion and curry powder are well combined, add the curry powder and stir.


3. Add sweet potato, soy sauce, sugar, and white pepper. Continue tossing the filling over medium heat until there is no longer any liquid at the bottom of the wok and the potato has enough broken down to allow for the creamy filling. Add a little water, continue to simmer, and stir, and add more water if the filling is dry before it reaches the creamy stage.

4. Stir in the cilantro stems and turn off the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt as needed. Let the filling cool to room temperature before wrapping.

5. The wrapper was extended in length. To make the wrapper 4" x 13", cut the 8-inch spring roll wrapper in half (2 pieces of 4" x 8 12") and overlap the short end. To ensure that all the layers were double-wrapped and prevent any areas from burning when it is fried in the hot oil.

6. Add around one spoonful of filling to the strip's end. Following the methods shown in the video, wrap each piece into a triangle. Sealing the end with the beaten egg.

7. Heat the oil into a wok with a deep bottom, spreading it out to a depth of 3 inches, to 175 degrees Celsius. Add the curry puffs and fry for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Drain on the paper towel, and let it cool slightly before serving.

Crispy Fried Noodles Meatballs With Sweet Chili Sauce

I don’t want to blow my own horn, but I’m determined to do everything I can to make you want to try these meatballs. These meatballs are coated with SWEET CHILLI LIME SAUCE. The sweet chili paste is the major component of making the sauce. Apart from using this paste to make the sauce for the meatballs. You can also use it for other dishes like stir-fries with French beans, spread over cucumber or bread, or sometimes use it to pair with fried noodles. The paste itself is sweet with some spiciness. I am using two types of dried chilies to make the paste, one type is mild, and the type is extremely hot dried chilies. Bear in mind that the smaller they are, the hotter they are. My meatballs contain glass noodles inside and outside of them. If you're not familiar with the idea of adding noodles to meatballs, let me convince you as to why it's a great idea. The noodles get crispy outside after frying.   So, you don’t need to mess up with panko or any other breading. Glass nood...

Salted Egg Yolks Fried Wings

  There are some leftover salted egg yolks after the Dragon Boat Festival. Salted egg yolk fried wings straight pop into my mind. Egg yolk chicken wings are really flavoring explosions, highly praised for its unique flavor, crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and tempting with their salty and fragrant taste. Other than the flavor that driving everyone’s insane. The key to this dish is to double fry the chicken wings until they are golden and crispy before coating them with a rich sauce of salted egg yolk and season them to make every bite full of rich taste and irresistible flavor. Since the fried chicken is mixed with salted egg yolks and melted butter, I must admit that this is a really greasy dish.   Eat this sparingly, then. I cut and divide my wings into mid wings and drummets. And I am going to give a shallow cut on them for better penetration during the marinating. Just oyster sauce, soy sauce and white pepper make up the basic marinade for the chicke...

Steamed Chicken With Cordyceps Flowers and Shitake Mushrooms (虫草花香菇蒸鸡)

Steam chicken is the easiest way of cooking with health benefits, and delicious flavor. Just simply marinate the bite sized pieces of chicken for minutes to obtain a basic flavor then steam for 20 to 25 minutes. That’s so simple. My husband loves steam food. This is due to the fact that steaming food is nutrient preservation, calorie and fat reduction. Additionally, it keeps the natural flavor to the maximum. Normally, I will add mushrooms, lily blossoms and black fungus for additional texture. For this recipe, I replace the lily blossoms with cordyceps flowers. It is a type of orange-yellow grass and it’s good for nourishing the lungs and kidneys, protecting the liver, nourishing skin and beauty, and improving immunity. It is extremely delicious when used to make soup or steam dishes! You don’t have to add water to the chicken, the marinade, chicken, and mushrooms release a broth-like mix of fluids that tastes amazing over rice. Are you drooling? This is an easy and delicious ...
