Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high. Add onion and cook 2 minutes until softened.

  2. Step 2

    Add ground meat and curry paste, breaking up meat with a spoon until no pink remains, ~5 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Stir in potato and coconut milk. Simmer 3 minutes until potato softens slightly. Season with salt and pepper. Cool 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Thaw puff pastry slightly. Cut each sheet into 9 squares. Place 1 tbsp filling on each, fold into a triangle, press edges with a fork to seal.

  5. Step 5

    Arrange puffs on a parchment-lined sheet pan. Whisk egg with 1 tbsp water, brush over each puff.

  6. Step 6

    Bake at 400°F for 12 minutes until deep golden brown. Serve hot.
