Curry Puff/karipap

Curry Puff is a dough stuff with filling commonly with curried potato and chicken, sardine, anchovies. It is then deep fried. It can be either done with a special mould (below) or just cut a round circle and put the filling in the middle, then put both ends together and shape the top with your finger. It will take some time to get used to it. I have inserted a utube video here on how to fold the curry puffs.
