Veg Puff

Recipe Contributed By: Sonia Monga, Iowa USA
While growing up in India, we used to eat puff pastries quite often but never made them at home, always used to get them from the bakery. We never even thought of making them at home, but after coming here, I saw these puff pastry sheets, which made our life easier. My friend Sonia makes the best puff pastries, and I am very thankful to her that she agreed to share the recipe on our blog. Here is the recipe of puff pastry with potato stuffing, but you can try different versions too like spinach cream or paneer peas stuffing. They all taste great. You get Pillsbury puff pastry sheets frozen. Whenever you want to use the sheets, keep them at room temperature for 40 -45 minutes. So you can work with them easily.




Serves: 18
Prep time: 20 Min; Cook time: 15 -20 min
Difficulty Level: Easy



Ingredients:

3 Medium sized Potatoes boiled.
1 Small chopped Onion.
1 Tsp Grated Ginger.
1/2 Tsp Turmeric
1 Tsp Oil
Salt to taste
1 box of Pillsbury puff pastry sheets (2 sheets- one makes 9 puff pastries)
1 Egg, beaten (Optional)

Method:

1) Pre heat the oven at 400 degree Fahrenheit.

2) In the mean time, heat oil in a pan.

3) Add chopped onion and sauté till translucent.

4) Add turmeric and salt.

5) Finally add ginger and mashed potatoes. Mix well and your filling is ready.



6) Spread one puff pastry sheet and cut it in 9 equal squares.



7) Take one square in your hand, put some filling in it and then approximate the edges to make a triangle. Seal with water.



8) Make 18 puff pastries from 2 sheets and place them in tray.

9) You can brush the beaten egg on pastries at this point for glaze(Optional).

10) Put the tray in pre-heated oven for 15 to 20 minutes. Turn the pastries halfway at around 8-10 min.

11) When pastries turn golden brown from both the sides take them out immediately.

Your puff pastries are ready to serve. Serve with ketchup or coriander chutney.
