Chicken Curry Puffs


I had these as take out once, and was so disappointed that I decided to make my own!  Super yummy.

Chicken Curry Puffs
Boil one package of boneless skinless chicken breasts.  Drain and cool, then dice into small pieces.
Chop one onion.
Saute the chopped onion and chcooked chopped chicken in olive oil until onion is limp.
Add about 2 Tbs. curry powder, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 cup water.
Cook and stir until heated through.
Set aside.

Pastry
Use a food processor if you have one!
Mix together until the mixture resembles crumbs:
2 cups flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup cold butter (or vegetable oil)
slowly add:
1/2 cup cold water
mix for a minute, then using your hands, form the dough into a ball. 
Roll out on a well floured surface until fairly thin.
Cut out into circles (I use a mason jar)
Place about 1-2 tsp. filling on each round
dip your fingers in water and moisten the edge of the circle all the way around.  Fold over to make a half moon, and pinch seal with your fingers.
Cook in hot vegetable oil until crispy and brown

Dipping Sauce
Mix together about 2 tablespoons of apricot jam + 1 Tablespoon pepper jelly or chili sauce.  Add red pepper flakes for heat, add a littl water to stir to a dipping sauce consistency that you like.
