Airfry Puff Pastry Meals

 Do you like eating curry puffs?  This is the process for making them.


These are the ingredients required:


You can also make this snack when you have leftover chicken curry.  This is how I cook my curry chicken:


However, if I plan to make curry puff with it, I will cook it with extra potatoes and use chicken breast instead of drumsticks.  When it is time to make my curry puffs, I will remove the leftover potato and the chicken with a tong so that I can dice them up.  

Instead of making my own pastry dough, I use the puff pastry from Kawan.  

In one packet there are 10 square pieces.  As I have a stainless steel rack, I do not have any problem airfrying all 10 pieces in my airfryer.  Once the filling is enclosed, I fold the pastry in half and press the edges together with a fork.  They taste alright without the hard boiled egg added.  I will airfry them according to the setting for baking pastry of my airfryer.  .

I can bake this at night if I have to leave the house early the next morning.  The curry puffs can be kept in the fridge once they are cool enough.  They can be eaten for breakfast after heating them up in the airfryer for 3 to 4 minutes.

There are many ways to make snacks with puff pastry.  In this video you can see other kind of fillings you can use and ways you can fold the pastry to bake.

Roasted Chicken

Recently, I visited Giant supermarket and managed to buy a roasted chicken for RM10.  Usually they are selling at RM19.90 each.

When I eat roasted chicken, I remove the flesh with a fork and knife so that the bones and skin from the chicken are clean enough to be used for boiling soup.  

This is how I make soup stock out of the carcass.

-place carcass in a pot.
-add enough water (or soup) to cover it to boil for at least half an hour.
-sieve out soup stock and discard carcass. 

I can use the soup stock to:

-boil porridge with meat from the roasted chicken and flavour it with soya sauce/oyster sauce, garlic oil and white pepper.
-add it to the soup I boil for the day to enhance the flavour.

Recently, I cooked my bell pepper dish again and had some leftovers.  

I decided to mix it with some meat from the roasted chicken.

I did not want to heat it up to eat by microwaving or airfrying it as they may become dry.  So, I decided to make puffs out of them.  This is how they turned out after airfrying under setting for making pies.

 


Kawan is my go to brand for puff pastry.

This time I rolled the pastry up with too much ingredients that, after airfrying them, some of puffs opened up where the ends meet. 

Note:  The next time I made it, I placed half a slice of cheddar cheese on the pastry sheet before adding the ingredients to roll up and airfry.  It tasted even better.
