So the adventure continues .... Its Karipap time!

Hopefully it'll now be Mark I instead of protoype phase2.

The weekend is here again, again I drove into Calgary to get these little bits of karchang, this driving up and down is getting boring can't wait to move.

I wasn't exactly over the moon on my first attempt, got waylaid with a wrestling a dough.

So this time around, I am making my own dough. Got me the flour, the karchang and proceeded to make my own dough. Now as I said before I have NEVER made any dough before (last week didn't count since it was ready made), so its my first time and I wasn't really expecting anything to turn out. Already had the dough recipe from the the curry puff recipe earlier. Alright, lets get going.

Took out a big bowl, poured in the flour approx 2 cups worth, start small eh, added about 2 table spoons of margarine, added about a cup of water, a sprinkling of salt, got out the big wooden spoon and proceded to mix the whole lot together.

Wah! hard work mixing the mix! Through a process of adding bit more flour, a bit more canola oil, abit more water, I eventually ended up with about half a bowl's worth of dough. Hmmm just nice, can squeeze it like Playdough, was nice and stretchy. Tried rolling out a bit of dough, hmmm seems to work. Ok back to this later.

Then started work on the filling. Got me my pototoes, carrots, onions and ...alamak where's the chicken???

Aiyoh just remembered I cooked it a few days ago and I forgot to get more. Die lah, now how.

Then I got rescued, I spied a box of swedish meatballs in the freezer, hallelujah! salvation is here, will make beef curry puff instead!!! I also grabbed some fresh shitake mushrooms that was convenient nearby. Not gonna repeat how to make the filling except it made my biceps bigger stirring that thing. Go here to read about it.

After the filling was ready, it was time to work on the dough. Wielding my miniature japanese rolling pin, I pulled off a ping ball sized piece of dough, put it on the table over wax paper and proceeded to roll me a nice flat piece of dough. Hah! all that time watching TV is paying off. I'm pretty happy how the dough turned out, nice, pliable.

So roll roll, roll your puff, happily down the street...humming as I made the puffs, rolled out one piece, tossed in the filling, crimped the edges, started on another, was afraid the dough might break, but wah I made it really pliable, somehow.

I managed to make about 9 pieces of puff, albeit in varying sizes since I was experimenting with bigger and smaller pieces of dough.

Not having a deep fryer, I chose the smallest piece to fry first, anticipating a possible deja vu moment of disintergrating puff. But no! It held! yippee!! did a quick dance and then slowly one by one fried the others. So finally after a lonnnnnng time, dilly dallied too much, next time I'll turn off the TV and prepare either the dough or filling earlier. VOILA!
