Veggie Puffs

Ingredients:

1 packet Puff Pastry
6 small potatoes
1 cup peas
1/2 cup green beans finely chopped (optional)
5 baby carrots (optional)
3 green chillies
1 inch ginger piece grated
5 cloves garlic
1/2 cup cilantro
1 teaspoon chilli powder
1/2 teaspoon haldi
1/4 teaspoon amchur
1/4 teaspoon garam masala
1/4 teaspoon chat masala
lemon and salt to taste
2 teaspoons oil

Method:

1. Thaw frozen puff pastry at room temp for 40 minutes. It should be cold to work with, if it reaches room temp while preparing, return it to the freezer. Once partly thawed, try to open each sheet with sharp knife

2. Pressure cook the potaotes, and other veggies (peas carrots and beans)

3. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a non stick pot and fry about 2 tablespoons of ginger garlic paste, green chillies (finely chopped) and 1/4 cup cilantro for about 2 minutes.

4. To  this, add the boiled chopped potatoes and veggies, saute for 2 minutes, then add haldi, salt, marchu, amchur, garam masala, chat masala. Saute for 3 minutes. Then let mixture cool and add lemon.

5. Preheat oven to 400 deg F

6. Now the cold, opened pastry sheet has three parts, cut along the marks of the fold. This gives us 3 long pieces  of pastry from each sheet, 6 pieces total. Cut them in 1/2 to get 12 pieces about 5' long.

 7. Add the cooled mixture onto one half of pastry piece and fold down the other half to make a puff, press down the edges

8 Bake in the oven at 400 deg F for 20 minutes, then check on it. (my oven took 30 minutes total) The puff will rise, and will turn golden brown

9. Gobble gobble gobble :)
