Malay Curry Puff Pastry (epok-epok)

Though ghee makes the pastry crispy, it's very rich -fattening. It doesn't really matter if the oil or water is hot when you knead the dough. 
Ingredients:
300g flour 
100g butter, oil, ghee or crisco 
100g water 
1 tsp salt 
Juice from 1 limau kasturi 
Method:
Mix lime juice, salt, water & oil. You can use hot water, but not with crsico. 
Add to flour & knead, you need not use all of the liquid. Knead well, leave it for 30 mins or so. Fold as usual. 
Make sure the oil is very hot before you put in the epok-epok. Fire must not be strong while frying. Drain well.

Prata as pastry

Buy instant prata.. please buy the ones which havent been half-cooked yet. The pre-cooked ones wont work well.. 

Thaw the prata for a while.. then you can cut it up and shape it into watever ways you want.. Play around with different fillings.. apple pie filling..chicken mayo.. sausage..etc .. 

Bake for 30 mins at 180c 


or you can just roll the whole prata around a sausage and bake.. cut the top and brush some egg.. 



For mini danish.. cut the prata into 4 .. 
1) cut along the dotted lines
