In a large mixing bowl, combine 250 grams of all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon of salt. Add 125 grams of chilled, cubed unsalted butter.
Using your fingertips, rub the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse breadcrumbs.
Gradually add 60 milliliters of cold water to the mixture, stirring until the dough comes together. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, and allow them to sizzle for a few seconds.
Add 1 finely chopped small onion, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 teaspoon of grated ginger. Sauté until the onion is soft and translucent.
Stir in 1 medium diced potato and 1 medium diced carrot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add 50 grams of green peas, 2 tablespoons of curry powder, 0.5 teaspoon of turmeric powder, and 1 teaspoon of coriander powder. Mix well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
Pour in 60 milliliters of coconut milk and let it simmer until the vegetables are tender, about 10 minutes.
Season the mixture with 0.5 teaspoon of salt and 0.25 teaspoon of black pepper. Allow it to cool completely.
Preheat your oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to a thickness of about 3mm. Cut out circles using a 10cm round cutter.
Place a tablespoon of the cooled vegetable filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to form a half-moon shape, and crimp the edges to seal.
Arrange the puffs on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve warm and enjoy your soy-free curry puffs!
