Karipap

(กะหรี่ปั๊บ, Epok-Epok, 咖哩角, 咖哩饺, Gālí Jiǎo, Kalee Pap, Curry Puff)

Karipap or curry puff is a small, deep-fried or baked pastry shell filled with thick chicken and potatoes curry. It is believed that the flavorful snack was invented by the Malays from the Malay Peninsula and parts of Sumatra and Borneo.


It is a popular breakfast item or an afternoon snack which can be found at numerous stores, bars, and markets. Because of its simplicity and flavor, karipap quickly became popular outside Malaysia, especially in Thailand and Singapore. Today there are numerous versions of karipap, so instead of potato and chicken curry, it can be filled with various other ingredients such as tuna, sardines, and beef rendang.


Crispy and flaky on the exterior, hot and soft on the interior, karipap is a snack that remains a staple of Southeast Asian cuisine.
