Curry Puff

This pastry recipe is share by my Malay neighbour. I love this pastry skin, it is easy to manage not sticky, stretchable and can be re-roll. Most important it taste exactly from those which I bought from the malay store. Even my hubby gave a good compliment. I was in a rush so I just took a few shoots with my handphone.
