Not sure why suddenly I thought want to write something that I really like when come to food or can I say "A Tea time food" which I usually describe them.This is my all time favourite snack which is well known in my country as "Epok Epok" or as "Curry Puff".
I been eating curry puff from my childhood days and still eating them now and I couldn't stop...yes couldn't stop...no way! A tea time snack I love most the "Malaysia epok epok".
It is a small pie consisting of specialised curry with chicken and potatoes in a deep-fried or baked pastry shell, and it looks like the Portuguese stuffed bread called Empanada. The curry is quite thick to prevent it from oozing out of the snack.A common snack in the region, the curry puff is one of several "puff" type pastries with different fillings, though now it is by far the most common. Other common varieties include sardines and onions or sweet fillings such as yam.
Though differing in the type of pastry used, the shape and structure of the curry puff may suggest that it has its origins in the Cornish pasty.
Curry Puffs are a very popular snack item in Indian Bakeries. Several variations of it are available based on the content of the puff, like Egg puff, chicken curry puff and Paneer puff.
This snack is considered a Malaysian version of empanadas. Found in many stores, especially at Indian and Malay food stalls.Other varieties of the epok epok are filled with a half boiled egg instead of chicken. Another alternative is tinned sardines.
Manufacturers have developed a version of the curry puff that can be frozen and later reheated by the consumer. These are suitable for the export market and can be produced in volume for shipment to various regions, such as the Middle East, where there is demand. In addition, new fillings have been experimented with, including tuna and black pepper.
In Indian food stalls in Malaysia, it is quite common to find vegetarian curry puffs with potatoes, carrots and onions as fillings.
And what ever shap its come I love them all.
