Hi Connie, tried your pastry yesterday for a curry puff filing. It was lovely and had just the right amount of butter - nice smell without any oiliness on the fingers. Thank you for making my curry puffs taste and smell wonderful.

I also used your suggestion of rolling up the pastry with the filing into a log and slicing it. It was so much faster this way and looked lovely when cut (I added sliced boiled egg and spread it across the filing before rolling, so each slice had a portion of boiled egg.)

Will try out your tuna filing the next time I make this pastry, which will be soon!
