Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets
- 2 medium potatoes
- 1 medium carrot
- 0.5 cup green peas
- 1 medium onion
- 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
- 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon garam masala
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets at room temperature according to the package instructions.
Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and cilantro.
Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.
Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the diced potatoes, carrots, and green peas. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well.
Add salt and two tablespoons of water. Cover and cook the vegetables until they are tender, about 10 minutes.
Once cooked, remove the lid and let any excess moisture evaporate. Stir in the chopped cilantro and mix well. Let the filling cool completely.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets a little to smooth them out. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares.
Place a tablespoon of vegetable filling in the center of each square.
Brush the edges of the pastry squares with water using your finger or a pastry brush.
Fold each square diagonally to form triangles or fold them into rectangles, ensuring the edges are sealed by pressing them with a fork.
Place the filled puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the puffs are golden and flaky.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade veg puffs!
