In my country this fried pastry called “Pastel Goreng”
Pastel goreng or fried puff pastry is one of the famous Indonesian snack. It’s a type of savory and deep fried snack.
This fried pastry looks similar to an empanadas, Puerto Rican pasteles, English pasties, or Malaysian curry puff.
Which makes it different maybe from the filling and taste.
I like the Malaysian curry puff, but for me the Indonesian version of fried puff is much better. The filling is lighter then curry puffs because they don’t use too much herbs and spices on it. Also, you can use whatever you want for the filling.
You can make it as a vegetarian or non-vegetarian. Most common filling in Indonesia is using vermicelli mixed vegetables and a sliced of hard boiled eggs. But of course you can put veggies and chicken or even only vegetables such as carrot, potatoes, celery and mixed it with vermicelli only without meat.
This snack is good for family time, parties, snacking, or even for potluck ideas.
Usually you can eat it as is, or
along with spicy peanut sauce or with a bite of fresh chili 🌶
