Sardine Curry Puffs

In Malaysia we have a savoury food that is very popular among kids and adults alike called the Curry Puffs. It can be had for breakfast, tea, as a snack ,etc. For me it is one of those foods that instantly bring childhood memories to life! I used to always get some Chicken curry puffs from the canteen during my schooling in Malaysia. And back then it used to cost like 20 or 30 sens.

This is the first time I was trying to make Sardine puffs simply because it is easier to make and I had a hungry husband to feed!

Ingredients

1 roll of ready made puff pastry

1 can of sardines  (120g)

1/2  of red pepper chopped small

1/2 of an onion chopped small

2 garlic cloves crushed

1 tablespoon curry powder

2 teaspoon olive oil

1 egg, beaten

 

Heat the oil in a frying pan. Add the onions and the garlic  and stir for 2 minutes. Then add the curry powder and fry for a minute. Add the red pepper and the sardines. Stir fry until most liquid has evaporated and the set aside to let cool for 15 minutes

Pre-heat the oven to 220°C.

Unroll the puff pastry and cut to your desired size. Spoon the sardine mix onto your pastry.

How I did mine was, I cut a rectangular piece of the pastry, spooned the sardine on to the middle and then folded both ends and the sides on top of the pastry. Repeat this as many times as you want (I managed to get 6 large Sardine Puffs)

Finally, brush some egg on to the top of the pastry for glazing.

Bake at 220°C for 15-20 minutes until the top is brown and crispy.

Serve hot with some sweet chilly sauce (the kind you use for spring rolls)
