This is a very good recipe. I have made a few batches and people love them. I add egg to mine. To get the "spiral" effect on the curry puffs, just follow the steps on this website http://www.myasiankitchenny.com/2010/04/spiral-curry-puffkaripap-pusingstep-by.html. Thanks for the recipe.

Very good recipe, thank you so much! I've been looking for a curry puff recipe and I've read a lot of different recipes. This one is the best! I added chicken to mine and adjust the seasonings accordingly. The shell is not hard to make, this is my first time making this type of shells from scratch and the result is very good. Thank you for a great recipe!
