Curry Puff

It's been quite long I've not eaten curry puff. This food is quite popular in Brunei, Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, Thailand, etc. I'm not sure if curry puff is well known in western countries. However, it is well known in Middle East and South East Asia countries. The origins of curry puff are not known as there are also Indian snacks e.g. 'Kachori' that look almost the same as curry puff. But I'm not sure if the taste of Kachori is the same as curry puff. For those who love curry puff may try the recipe below.
