Jerk Chicken Curry Puff (Ala Carte)
A fiery, flavor-forward puff that marries Caribbean heat with Southeast Asian comfort. Tender chicken thigh meets a coconut‑rich, aromatic filling studded with potatoes and scallions, plus a double‑hit of jerk seasoning for smoky, peppery, citrusy depth — balanced by palm sugar and dark soy for a sweet‑savory finish. Toasty thyme and curry leaves mingle with a savory umami lift from fermented soy bean paste, all wrapped in a flaky, butter‑forward pastry you’ll want to bite into immediately.

Whip It Up in 6+ Minutes
Our curry puffs come frozen—no thawing necessary! Just follow these simple step-by-step instructions and enjoy.
Frying (6 minutes)
- Heat a pot of oil to 170°F. Use an oil with a high smoke point for safety.
- Gently place a puff into the heated oil.
- To maintain the oil temperature, wait 15 seconds before adding another puff.
- After 6 minutes, carefully remove the puffs using a slotted spoon or sturdy tongs. Let excess oil drip back into the pot.
- Test doneness: Insert a toothpick into the dough. If it comes out clean, it’s cooked.
- Allow the puffs to rest for a few minutes before serving.

- Optional: Brush puffs with egg wash for a golden-brown finish (this step won’t affect the taste).

- Test doneness: Insert a toothpick into the dough. If it comes out clean, it’s cooked.
- Allow the puffs to rest for a few minutes before serving.
