POTATOES CURRY PUFFS

I love Curry Puffs or any pastries for that matter....! It's the cispiness plus spicy filling that truly appeals to me. I consider it as my comfort food. I usually use ready-made frozen puff pastries as it is simpler and definitely quicker. As my older son doesn't fancy this, I'd make some Chocolate Puffs instead. Another simple treat :)


Feel free to adjust the proportions of the ingredients based on your personal preference.


You may make this in advance and store it in an air-tight container in the freezer. When you're ready, just defrost in the microwave  to thaw and it's ready.
