Curry puff ((マレー語:Karipap, Epok-epok); ; (タイ語:กะหรี่ปั๊บ), , ) is a snack of Southeast Asian origin. It is a small pie consisting of specialised curry with chicken and potatoes in a deep-fried or baked〔http://www.malaysianfood.net/recipes/recipecurrypuffs.htm〕 pastry shell, and it looks like the Portuguese stuffed bread called Empanada. The curry is quite thick to prevent it from oozing out of the snack. A common snack in Southeast Asia, the curry puff is one of several "puff" type pastries with different fillings, though now it is by far the most common. Other common varieties include sardines and onions or sweet fillings such as yam. Though differing in the type of pastry used, the shape and structure of the curry puff may suggest that it has its origins in the Cornish pasty. Curry Puffs are a very popular snack item in Indian Bakeries. Several variations of it are available based on the content of the puff, including Egg puff, Potato puff, chicken puff, veggie puff and Paneer puff. Curry puffs are enjoyed throughout, Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand and India. ==Malaysia== In Malaysia, this snack can be found in many stores, especially at Indian and Malay food stalls. Another Malay version of this snack is known as ''epok-epok'' and ''teh-teh'' which is smaller than the curry puff. Other varieties of the epok epok are filled with a half boiled egg instead of chicken. Another alternative is tinned sardines.There are also vegetarian curry puffs that are in fact not spicy and made from shredded radish, tofu and grated carrots. They are often eaten with sweet chilli sauce. Manufacturers have developed a version of the curry puff that can be frozen and later reheated by the consumer. These are suitable for the export market and can be produced in volume for shipment to various regions, such as the Middle East, where there is demand. In addition, new fillings have been experimented with, including tuna and black pepper. In Indian food stalls in Malaysia, it is quite common to find vegetarian curry puffs with potatoes, carrots and onions as fillings. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Curry puff」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
