Peel and dice the potatoes and carrot into small cubes. Boil them along with the green peas in a pot until they are tender. Drain the water and set the vegetables aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cumin seeds and let them sizzle for a few seconds.
Finely chop the green chilies and ginger, then add them to the pan. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the cooked vegetables to the pan, followed by turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam masala, and salt. Mix well to evenly coat the vegetables with the spices.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Turn off the heat and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro. Allow this filling mixture to cool completely.
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Take the gluten-free puff pastry sheets out of the refrigerator and roll them out gently if needed. Cut each sheet into equal-sized rectangles or squares.
Place a spoonful of the vegetable filling in the center of each cut pastry sheet. Fold the sheet over the filling to form a triangle or rectangle, and press the edges to seal them. Use a fork to crimp the edges for extra sealing and decoration.
Place the prepared puffs on the lined baking sheet and brush the tops lightly with some oil for a golden appearance.
Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free veg puffs with ketchup or green chutney.
