These flaky, crispy pastries with a curry flavored filling are a popular snack sold in street food stalls and eateries right across Thailand. They're usually filled with a spiced mixture of potato, vegetables, and curry powder; you can experiment with variations for a personalized touch. These puffs also freeze well, making them a convenient snack to make ahead and have on hand. Substitute store-bought puff pastry if you need to save time.
