Making Curry Puffs

We made curry puffs 2 weeks ago, a few days before we went to Taiping. I used my mother's recipe to make the curry puffs. For some unknown reason, it is easier for me to use my mother's recipe instructions than following cookbook. She makes the steps very easy. She usually uses a lot of intuition, when measuring the ingredients and so do I.  I find cookbooks quite complicated and difficult to follow. I prefer to watch video instructions online.
