In Indonesia, a curry puff is known as a pastel, although it does not necessarily contain any curry powder.
Pastels are derived from the Portuguese influence in Indonesia.
It refers to a pie of crust made from thin pastry, filled with meat (usually chicken) mixed with vegetables (chopped carrot and beans), rice vermicelli, and sometimes egg, then deep fried in vegetable oil.
It is consumed as a snack and is commonly sold in Indonesian traditional markets.

The similar North Sulawesi version replaces the thin flour pie crust with bread, and is filled with spicy cakalang (skipjack tuna).
This variation of the snack is called panada.
This snack is very popular during Ramadhan.

The similar Riau Islands version of curry puff is called epok-epok.
