“Its a simple snack to make. It can be made into a small bite sized snack and the buttery flaky crust with the warm filling and hint of spice are the perfect marriage for any time of the day!” – Kris Toliao
“Curry puff is a great hand grub snack, once mastered the mix its fairly easy to make it at home using premade pie sheets, able to freeze way ahead so easy to prepare before, on the game day you can pop in the oven just get it out and all ready to go!” – Yuka Ioroi
