Chicken Curry Buns

I have always been intimidated by bread making as most bread making calls for yeast - a "formidable" ingredient that could very much determine the success or failure of bread making. @_@ Although I have attempted bakes using yeast for my Rainbow Flower Buns and Cinnamon Rolls in my past baking experiments, I still wasn't confident in dealing with yeast until after a considerable amount of time spent on researching and understanding about yeast and how it works. After plucking up my courage to attempt these Chicken Curry Buns, I guess I'm not "scared" (of working with yeast) anymore. ^_^

And I realised that the happiest moment in bread making isn't when I could finally sink my teeth into these buns, but it is when I know that the yeast is working and I see my dough rising well. Hahaha!

Fried Curry Puffs

One who knows how to cook (and make delicious food) doesn't mean one is willing to do it; while one who is willing to do it doesn't mean one is able to make delicious food (after all it's the thoughts that count). Hence I never fail to tell my husband it's his double-win fortune to take me as his wife after I made him yummy food that satisfy his cravings every time. Haha! And the mister has been "pestering" me to make him curry puffs for the longest time before he gave up after I turned him down every time with the consequences from deep-frying, that is the lingering smell of oil in the apartment and the oil stench that stays on the carpet and sofa. *Giggle! It may be my plain excuse for "rejecting" his request time and again since I never like deep-frying but the consequences from deep-frying were all true. Let alone the amount of grease-cleaning to be done, it took almost the entire can of air fresher spray to rid the oil stench in the entire apartment. >,<

*Oops! I hope I've not dampened your eagerness to try out this recipe at this point. Despite the post cleaning chores, I'll totally do it again if you ask me (in fact I've already made this recipe twice). If you're yearning for some traditional curry puffs made of crisp yet flaky crust similar to those bought from the local food markets sold traditionally by the Malays, this is the one or even better -- because you can wrap in as much filling as you want! *_*

I'm linking this post to the event, Little Thumbs Up (July 2014: Potato) organised by Zoe of Bake for Happy Kids and Mui Mui of My Little Favourite DIY and hosted by Jasline of Foodie Baker. You may find that there are already many other curry puff versions linked to the above event, but who doesn't like to be spoilt for choices?! ^_^


And I would also like to share this post with CookBlogShare event hosted by Lucy of Supergolden Bakes because caring is sharing!
