These puffs are a fabulous way to turn last night meal to an entirely new dish the next day. The best part is that food wastage is reduced which in turn saves money and time you spend in the kitchen to cook a dish from scratch.

Curry Puffs - a perfect way to use up leftovers

This is not a traditional Asian curry puff recipe in any regard, but a great substitute when you are craving for something in the evenings.

This is an ideal option when you have lots of leftover curries or you don't want to feed a day-old dish to your family but want to transform it into something unusual and delicious evening snack on a busy mid-week. I've used a day-old curried potatoes and peas (aloo mutter) for filling. You can also stuff curry puffs with any leftovers such as jeera aloo, knol khol curry, roasted baby potatoes, aloo gobi, paneer jalfrezi and chickpea salad.  This is also a great way to entice picky kids to eat healthy meals.

Not only leftover curries but these puffs could also be made with random veggies lying in the refrigerator or that are about to end up in the bin.

FAQ

How to reheat curry puffs?

Place curry puffs in the lined baking sheet and heat in pre heated oven for 3-5 minutes or until piping hot. 

Can I freeze curry puffs?

Of course you can. Place leftover curry puffs on a baking sheet with spacing between puffs, pop it in the freezer and leave it for 3-4 hours or until puffs harden. Take the baking sheet out of the freezer, transfer the puffs to the ziplock bag or a freezer friendly container and store in the freezer for up to 3 months.
