Instructions

1. Prepare the Potatoes

Boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and lightly mash them, leaving some chunks for texture.

2. Cook the Filling

Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Sauté garlic and shallots until fragrant. Add curry powder, turmeric powder, and chili powder. Stir for about 30 seconds.

Add diced Otak-Otak Singapore and cook for 2–3 minutes. Mix in the potatoes, sugar, salt, and coconut milk. Cook until the filling becomes slightly dry and well combined. Stir in spring onions and let the filling cool completely.

3. Assemble the Curry Puffs

Preheat oven to 200°C. Cut puff pastry into circles or squares.

Place 1–2 tablespoons of filling in the center. Fold and seal the edges using a fork. Brush the tops with beaten egg.

4. Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

Serve warm.
