SPICY & SWEET SNACK
The perfect little savoury bite for a Friday night snack (or honestly, anytime you need comfort food with a kick). 🧅✨ With onions on sale at No Frills, I couldn’t resist turning them into another seeni sambol creation. Three onions, slowly cooked down with curry leaves, tamarind, and a mix of spices, until they transform into that signature sweet-spicy, jammy goodness.
Instead of overcomplicating things, I tucked the sambol into flaky store-bought puff pastry (because making puff from scratch? absolutely not), layered in slices of boiled egg and melty cheddar, then brushed with egg wash for that golden glow. After a quick bake, out comes the dream combo: crispy pastry, gooey cheese, rich egg, and that caramelized onion sambol bringing all the flavour. 🥟🔥
Flaky, spicy, cheesy perfection—these little puffs are guaranteed to disappear fast.
