作法
- 製作酥皮:用指尖將食用油、印度藏茴香籽與鹽搓入麵粉中,搓至如粗砂狀。分次加入溫水,剛好成團即停。揉 2 分鐘即可。蓋好靜置 30 分鐘。
- 製作內餡:2 大匙油加熱後將洋蔥炒 5 分鐘。加入蒜末與薑末炒 60 秒。加入羊絞肉炒 6 分鐘。加入孜然、芫荽、喀什米爾辣椒粉、肉桂與鹽炒 60 秒。加入青豆煮 3 分鐘。放涼,拌入香菜與薄荷。
- 麵團分為 12 球。每球擀成直徑 16 公分圓片,從中央對切—每半張做一顆三角酥,共 24 個半圓。
- 取一個半圓,直邊刷水後折成圓錐並重疊密合。圓錐中舀入 1.5 大匙內餡。
- 圓錐開口處捏成扁平接縫密合。傳統造型呈四面金字塔;密合不良炸時會爆開。
- 油加熱至 150°C—比一般油炸溫度低。三角酥分批以低溫炸 8 分鐘至淡金黃。再升溫至 180°C 續炸 2 分鐘上深色。撈起置於網架瀝油。趁熱搭配辣醬與優格享用。

文化背景
阿富汗咖哩餃數百年前由印度與蒙兀兒商人傳入阿富汗後在地化發展。阿富汗版本用羊肉(而非印度的牛肉或素食版本),並加入新鮮香草(香菜、薄荷),這是印度版本通常沒有的。它是喀布爾與赫拉特的街頭料理;海外阿富汗社群將它推向全球。低溫再高溫的二段油炸技法與印度版相同,能做出招牌的酥脆口感。
