if you're Singaporean or Malaysian, you might be used to the traditional fried curry puffs enjoyed as a teatime snack, loaded with potatoes, chicken and sometimes boiled egg.
for overland travellers Nora and Susie who explore the most remote parts of the world, they find a piece of home through finding for curry puff adjacents in the countries they travel to.
one of their favourite ‘currypuff-like’ snacks that they discovered and have a lasting memory of is Beef Empanadas during their trip around Argentina. their memory was having these by a roadside stall with a warm beef filling which was lightly spiced. we recreated this element of their memory with our version of the country’s empanadas, paired with a tangy chimichurri sauce for dipping.
