Dairy free Vegetable Puff

The summer vacation has started and I am really busy these days with my daughter at home. I am busy planning what snacks need to be made everyday. She likes vegetable puff so much and I made these just for her..Perfect snack for kids..I have used the store bought pastry sheet for this and baked according to the instructions on the cover. You can get the pastry sheet from any of the supermarkets.

The masala filling can be made as per your choice.

Ingredients:

Puff Pastry sheets – I used the “Sunbulah” brand.

Masala Ingredients:

1. Thaw the pastry squares for about an hour.
2. Prepare the Masala:

(a) In a pan, add oil. When the oil is hot add cumin seeds and allow them to splutter. After that add ginger garlic paste.

(b) Add onion and once it starts turning brown, add the vegetables. Saute them and cook it by adding a few drops of water if needed.

(c) We need the vegetables to be 75 percent cooked. Then add turmeric powder, chilli powder,coriander powder and salt. Keep the flame low to prevent the masala from getting burnt.

(d) Finally add the chat masala and switch off the flame. Keep the masala to cool. At the same time preheat the oven according to the instruction given in the pastry sheet cover.

3. When the masala has cooled down, prepare a tray with aluminium foil or by greasing it with oil.

4.Take each pastry square, fill the masala in and close the sides. You can decide the shape and size of the puff. I made triangle ones and square ones. Arrange the puffs in the tray leaving space between them. They will expand and there should be enough space for that.

5. Once the oven is heated to the desired temperature, insert the tray and bake till golden brown or as per the instruction.

6. Serve the yummy, flaky, home made puffs hot or cold.
