This time peeps,I've decided to make an easy snack,which was one of everyone's favorite during their school/college days :) (at least for most of us!!) yup....it is our very own "Vegetable puff"!! I still remember our group of friends,who used to hang around this bakery after college & used to gorge upon samosas & veg puffs....sigh....i miss those days :| anyways....getting back to the point....here goes the recipe :
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- Store bought puff pastry sheets - 1 sheet
- 2 medium potatoes (boiled) - cubed
- 1/2 onion finely chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen green peas
- 2 sticks of celery - diced
- 2 carrots - diced
- 1 tsp ginger garlic paste
- 1 tsp coriander+cumin powder
- 1/2 tsp seasoned salt / to taste
- 1/2 tsp curry powder
- 1/4 tsp garam masala
- 1/4 tsp chilli powder/to taste (optional)
- 1/2 cup coriander leaves - chopped
- 2 tbsp oil
- 1/2 tsp cumin seeds
Directions:
- Thaw one puff pastry sheet for 30 mins. ( you can make 6 medium sized puffs from 1 sheet)
- Heat oil in a pan & add cumin seeds. Once they start spluttering add onions. Saute them till they turn translucent & add the ginger garlic paste. Fry them till the raw flavor goes away.
- To this,add the diced carrots,celery,peas & also add in all the spices mentioned above.
- Once the carrots turn soft,add the potatoes. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes & then add the chopped coriander.
- Cut the pastry sheets into 3 parts vertically & cut them in half diagonally so that you get 6 pieces.
- Fill in 1 tsp of the curry in the center of the pastry sheet & wet the edges slightly with water. Now,just fold them over & seal the edges..it should now look like a rectangle. ( of course,the shape of the puff is entirely your choice...you can also make them look like triangles!! :P )
- Preheat the oven at 400 F. Place the puffs in a baking sheet & coat them with a little oil for that extra color. Place them in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until they turn golden brown.
- Remove & serve them with hot coriander/mint chutney or with ketchup.
