What you'll need

For the pastry

300g Lo-Fo Pantry Plain Flour

125g butter, cubed

125g water

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

500ml vegetable oil

For the filling

1teaspoon garlic infused olive oil

400g potato

300g pumpkin

300g spinach

2teaspoon curry powder (with no garlic or onion)

1 leek (green part only)

200g broccoli florets

Process

Step 1

Combine the flour, baking powder and salt in a large bowl then rub the butter into the flour using your hands or an electric mixer with a paddle attachment until it forms a fine crumb.

Step 2

Add in the water 1 tbsp at a time while mixing on medium speed for 5 minutes to form a dough.

Step 3

Tip out onto a floured surface and then knead dough for 5 min until it springs back at touch. Cover and rest for at least 30 mins in the fridge.

Step 4

While the dough is resting heat the garlic infused olive oil in large pan, then add in the potatoes and pumpkin and cook for 10 mins or until they are just soft. Add in the leek and cook on high for 2 mins then add in the broccoli, spinach and curry powder. Set aside.

Step 5

Cut the dough into 24 even sized bits. On a floured surface roll one piece of dough out into a 2 mm thick circle (about 7 inch in diameter).

Step 6

Place a tbsp of filling into the centre of the dough. Bring the edges together and fold them over each other pinching the dough with your hands to form a seal. Repeat with remaining dough.

Step 7

Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy based pan. It is hot enough when small bubbles start to form around the base of a wooden spoon. Lower a curry puff into the oil using a slotted spoon – be careful not to splash the oil as it is very hot.

Step 8

Cook for 1-2 mins on each side or until golden brown. Use the slotted spoon to drain excess oil and then place cooked curry puff on a piece of paper towel to further drain oil and cool slightly. You can also bake the curry puffs at 180 C for 35 minutes with an egg wash on top if preferred.

Step 9

Serve with FODMAP friendly sweet chilli sauce or tzatziki.
