A Chicken Curry Puff Recipe is a Sri Lankan dish typically served as a snack or an appetizer. It’s also great for potlucks and parties because they’re easy to make and eat!
The trick to making one of these is rolling them just right, not too thin and not too thick. After frying the puffs,
let them rest on a paper towel so that some of the extra greases drips off–the paper towel helps with this process since it absorbs some of the moisture from the puff pastry.
How to make Chicken Curry Puff Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 Tablespoons of Oil
- 1 teaspoon of Cumin seeds
- ½ Teaspoon of Turmeric Powder
- 3-4 Green Chilies Chopped (Optional)
- For the dough:
- 1 ½ Cups All-purpose Flour (You can substitute with Corn starch or Bread flour)
- ½ Cups Water
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 2 tablespoons milk Salt to taste
- 1 Egg Salt to taste

Step 2: Allow resting covered in a warm place for 30 minutes.
Step 3: After 30 minutes, knead the dough and divide it into two parts. Roll each part into a long rectangle.
Step 4: Brush with egg and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Cut into long 2-inch by 10 cm wide strips. Then cut these strips into 1-inch squares (you should get around 24 of these).
Step 5: Grease a plate and place the squares on it so that they don’t stick to it while you’re rolling them.
Step 6: Roll the strips into a tube. Hold the ends and twist them together so it forms a ring. Place on a greased plate and allow to rest for 15 minutes.
Step 7: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in an iron skillet and put in the rolled puff pastry. Turn it over so that it’s fried from both sides.
Step 8: After about 10 minutes on each side, the puff pastry will be brown, and it should be slightly crispy. Turn out and set aside in a bowl.
Step 9: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a skillet, put in the Cumin seeds, and allow to pop. Add the chopped Green Chilies, Red chilly powder, or Chana dal (Dry red lentils) and cook for 1 minute; add the cooked chicken pieces. Cook till all the water evaporates, but you can see some gravy forming.
Step 10: Add salt, pepper, and lemon juice. Mix well and serve warm.
