veg puff/curry puff (patties)

This is my husband's favourite evening  snack. I make it atleast once a week and thankfully we never got bored of this dish till now. In this  main  thing is puff pastry sheets. You may find these pastry sheets in the frozen section of most of the grocery stores.This is quick and easy to make.so here goes the recipe




                                                            INGREDIENTS:


  • Puff pastry sheets (Pepperidge Farm is the best one)
  • Boiled Potatoes (mashed)
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 chopped Green Chillies
  • 1/2 tsp turmeric Powder
  • a pinch of red chilly powder
  • 1/2 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 tsp dry mango powder
  • 1 tsp coriander leaves chopped
  • 1 tbsp cumin seeds
  • Salt to taste
  •  1 tbsp Oil  

Method- 


1-Thaw the pastry sheets at room temperature or in microwave for 15-20 seconds before using them.

2-Heat oil in pan and allow cumin seeds to splutter.

3-Add onion , green chillies and salt and saute for a while

.4-Add the turmeric, chilli powder  and  saute .

5-Add mashed potatoes and mix well.

6-Simmer for few more minutesand add dry mango powder and garam masala.

7-Mix well and keep aside. Let it cool.

8-Preheat oven at 400- 450 degrees

9-Cut the puff pastry into the desired shape and  just put the potato filling in the pastry sheet. After the filling is done fold it over and stick the ends together (you can use water or milk if needed)

10-Arrange the puffs in a baking sheet and bake them till they turn golden brown. (about 12-15 minutes)

11-Puffs are ready enjoy with tomato sauce.

Note - 1 - In same way we can make egg puffs or mix veg puffs also just  change the filling and you will get different variety of puffs.
