Chicken Curry Puff

The curry puff [epok-epok, karipap] as it's known in Singapore and Malaysia, carries a history as rich as the flavors that fill it. The name itself, coined by British colonialists in Asia, is a reminder of the melding of cultures that shaped much of the region's cuisine. Over the centuries, these little dough pockets have been influenced by various European, Malay, Indian, and Chinese culinary traditions, creating a dish that is both unique and universal across Southeast Asia. Now, they are finally making their way to America in a way that many can enjoy.

Frying (6 minutes)

1. Heat a pot of oil to 170°F. Use an oil with a high smoke point for safety.
2. Gently place a puff into the heated oil.
3. To maintain the oil temperature, wait 15 seconds before adding another puff.
4. After 6 minutes, carefully remove the puffs using a slotted spoon or sturdy tongs. Let excess oil drip back into the pot.
5. Test doneness: Insert a toothpick into the dough. If it comes out clean, it’s cooked.
6. Allow the puffs to rest for a few minutes before serving.

3. Air fry at 400°F for 16 minutes, flipping halfway through.
4. Test doneness: Insert a toothpick into the dough. If it comes out clean, it’s cooked.
5. Allow the puffs to rest for a few minutes before serving.
