Ingredients
Instructions
Make the curry filling
Dice the onion. Heat oil in a pan, add diced onion, ground meat, curry powder and salt, stir-fry until cooked through and forms a paste, this is the curry filling.
Make the dough
Please first refer to the "Basic Dough Preparation Method" on pages 14 and 15. Divide the dough into 50g portions each, then roll them into oval shapes.
Wrap the filling
Place the curry filling in the center of the dough, take care not to let the filling touch the edges of the dough. Pinch tightly from the middle towards both sides, check that the seam is completely sealed.
Coating and fermentation
Spray water on the dough, then coat the dough fully with frying powder. Refer to the image before fermentation: the dough is approximately 9.5cm long and 4cm wide. Refer to the comparison image after fermentation: the dough is approximately 10.5cm long and 6cm wide.
Deep-fry
Place the dough into the preheated oil (around 120°C). When the fried dough turns golden brown, flip it over and fry until it is also golden brown, then it is ready.
