I’ve shared my recipe for Nyonya Satay Ayam and decided to adapt the recipe to make filling for Baked Curry Puffs. You can check out my YouTube video for that recipe @ https://youtu.be/e59FHAWeq_c The pastry dough is made with my homemade pie pastry recipe which can also be used to make tarts, quiche and of course pies.

This baked chicken curry puff is a healthier choice for your curry puffs craving compared to the usual fried ones.
