We in Malaysia refer to them as curry puffs( with fillings made from assorted vegetables, potatoe, various kinds of meat, some spicy, & other fillings like peanuts, red beans, green beans etc).<br /> Another variation is steamed like those dumplings dim sum.<br />Sizes vary according to the whims of the cook. These are normally served during breakfast or tea time, as well as desserts.<br />Eduard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
