Beef Curry Puffs
Description
The recipe starts by browning ground beef with diced onion and garlic. Spices including curry powder, garam masala, cayenne, and garlic powder add warmth and depth. A touch of sugar balances the heat, while soy sauce and beef stock contribute umami and moisture. The mixture is thickened with a cornstarch slurry to prevent sogginess inside the pastry.
Puff pastry squares are filled with the thickened beef curry, folded, sealed by pressing with a fork, then brushed with beaten egg to encourage browning. Baking at 400°F creates golden, flaky pastries with a savory, spiced beef interior.
This preparation suits casual gatherings or as finger food, providing a substantial, flavorful bite. They are best served warm straight from the oven.
