WHAT DOES CURRY PUFF MEAN IN ENGLISH?

curry puff

Curry puff

Curry puff is a Malaysian, Singaporean, and Thai snack. It is a small pie consisting of specialised curry with chicken and potatoes in a deep-fried or baked pastry shell, and it looks like the Portuguese stuffed bread called Empanada. The curry is quite thick to prevent it from oozing out of the snack. A common snack in the region, the curry puff is one of several "puff" type pastries with different fillings, though now it is by far the most common. Other common varieties include sardines and onions or sweet fillings such as yam. Though differing in the type of pastry used, the shape and structure of the curry puff may suggest that it has its origins in the Cornish pasty. Curry Puffs are a very popular snack item in Indian Bakeries. Several variations of it are available based on the content of the puff, like ▪ Egg puff ▪ Potato puff ▪ chicken puff ▪ veggie puff ▪ Paneer puff. Some varieties of the Indian samosa known as Kachori are very similar to curry puffs.
