I like curry puffs and has always had a hard time finding a good crust to go with the curry filling. The other pastry I have used.
With the hike in cost for everything in KK, it is now very expensive to make pastry using butter or buying ready made pastry from the supermarket. Even margarine is also getting more expensive to buy.
So I decided to use oil as a replacement. Surprisingly it turn out not too bad. It does not crumble easily. This oil pastry recipe would really be good it you are using wet fillings. Among the three recipe I have tried below, I prefer the mixed oil and margarine which is more flaky and tender than just pure oil. .
