Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a skillet, heat coconut oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes.
Add minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for another 1 minute until fragrant.
Add diced chicken breast to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-7 minutes.
Stir in the curry powder and cook for 1 minute, ensuring the chicken is well coated.
Pour in coconut cream, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Stir in salt, black pepper, and chopped cilantro then set aside to cool.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave for 1 minute on high until melted, then mix until smooth.
Stir in almond flour and an egg until a dough forms. Knead the dough gently with your hands for uniform consistency.
Roll out the dough between two sheets of parchment paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out circles using a cookie cutter or a glass about 3-inch wide.
Place a spoonful of the cooled chicken curry mixture onto one half of each dough circle.
Fold the dough over to enclose the filling, pressing the edges with a fork to seal.
Place the curry puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Allow the puffs to cool slightly before serving.
