Karipap


Ingredients:

Filling:

2 large red onions (diced)
1 jalapeno pepper (diced)
1 tbsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced ginger
2 large potatoes (diced)
2 large carrots (diced)
1/2 to 1 lb ground beef
2 tsp salt & pepper to taste
6 to 8 tbsp curry powder
1 tsp chilli paste

Pastry:

2 sheets of puff pastry
egg wash (egg plus 1 tbsp water)


Oven: 400F for 25 minutes

Methods:
  1. Saute the onions, ginger, garlic, 1 tsp salt, and jalapeno until the onions softened.
  2. Once onions softened, add potatoes and carrots into the mixture. Cooked until the potatoes are half cooked for a few minutes.
  3. Then add the ground beef into the wok. Gently stirred the mixture so that it blended well. Then add the curry powder into the wok. Stir gently so that the mixture is well blended.
  4. Add salt & pepper to taste. Cooked for 1 hour at very low heat. Add some water if the wok is too dry.
  5. Cool the filling before using it.
  6. Thaw the pastry before using according to the package. Roll the pastry to the size of 18" x 12" and cut a pastry sheet into 6 or 8 rectangles.
  7. Brush the edges with egg wash and put the filling in the center of the rectangle and fold it into half. Pinch the edges.
  8. Brush each puff pastry with egg wash before baking. Do all of the finished unbaked pastry while they are on the cookie sheets.
  9. Cool the baked puff pastry for at least 5 minutes before eating.
Enjoy the flaky puff pastry.
