This pattern is fairly easy and can be made by beginners, but does include the reverse shell stitch (rsh) worked in half double crochet (hdc), which can be a little challenging for new beginners.

The amigurumi consists of 1 part. The main body is worked in the round, and the sides are then joined together with the reverse shell stitch.

The finished amigurumi measures about 10.5cm at its longest point, 5cm at its widest, and 3cm at its highest. Measurements will vary depending on hook size, yarn weight, crochet tension and how firmly the work is stuffed.

This amigurumi was inspired by the curry puff, a savoury pastry local to Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia. The classic curry puff consists of crispy pastry stuffed with a dry meat-and-potato curry, and sometimes hard boiled egg. Variations include flaky, layered pastry, or sardine or tuna filling. It is a favourite here and is best eaten piping hot from the pan or oven.

Besides being super delicious, the curry puff is also a humble child born from the marriage of culinary traditions of the various ethnic groups and cultures that settled in our region.
