Curry puffs always remind me of those days when almost every young dude on the block grew long sideburns and donned Elvis' iconic quiff. Back then, the King's pompadour hairdo was known as the curry-puff hairstyle! Getting that huge wave on the head on straight, hard Chinese hair was no easy feat at a time when neither hair gel nor mousse existed. I remember cousin Charles walking around in his house with his mom's roller on his head, much to the disdain of our very traditional grandma!
Curry Puffs - Small pies (Empanadas) with a curried filling of meat and potatoes in a deep-fried or baked pastry shell. They are a popular tea-time snack in Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand.
Made these for the first time as I am currently in a baking frenzy, inspired by Pinterest and my fellow foodie bloggers.

They are not hard to make - the crimping part needs a little practice though. Pinch, fold, pinch fold......
The curried filling is good for pies too.
