Vegetable Puff / Indian Snack Vegetable Puff:
Ingredients:
Puff Pastry Sheets – 1 box (from the frozen section of a grocery store - I use Pepper ridge Form brand)
For the Stuffing:
Oil – 1 tsp
Onions – 1/4 small, finely chopped
Potato – 1 small, shredded
Beans 4-5 finely chopped
Salt – to taste
Carrots – 1/4, shredded
Turmeric powder – 1/8 tsp
Chaat Masala – 1/4 tsp
Red Chili Powder – to taste
Method:
Take the sheets of Puff Pastry out and thaw them at room temperature for about 40-50 minutes.
Pre-heat the Oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
Now for the stuffing, take a small skillet and heat oil on medium heat. Once hot, add in the onions and saute till they turn translucent. Add in the potatoes, beans, carrot now add finely chopped green chilies and cilantro and mix well, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add in turmeric powder, salt, chaat masala and red chili powder. Mix well and keep aside.
Cut the Pastry sheets strips into your own shape( i prefer square). Put 1 tbsp of the stuffing in the center. Fold the Pastry Sheet to make a triangle or rectangle.
Use a fork and gently, but firmly, press into the sides and press away and to help seal)
Put the Puffs on a cookie sheet(Parchment sheet).
Place in the pre-heated oven at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.
Once they are out of the oven, transfer them to a cooling rack and allow them to rest and cool down for 5 minutes.
Serve with ketchup/Sauce or mint chutney.
Tips:
1. Use any vegetable and spice combination for the Puffs.
2. It is very important to allow them to cool for 5 minutes – this will make the puffs nice and flaky AND it won’t burn your mouth.
3. The Cooling rack is great but if you don’t have one, improvise – take the oven rack and give it some height and use that.
4. Optional – add finely chopped green chilies or/and cilantro.
