:: How to make Vegetable Puffs
Dough:
Sieve Maida & salt. Add cold water & knead to a smooth
dough. Cover the dough
with a wet cloth and keep it aside for 30 minutes. Keep
some maida for dusting.
To Prepare the Stuffing:
Cook the potatoes, peas, beans & carrot. Mash the potatoes
coarsely. Heat oil in a
pan & add cumin seeds and ground ginger, garlic & chili
paste. Fry for few
minutes. Add chopped onions and fry until, brown. Then put
the boiled
vegetables, turmeric powder, red chili powder, garam
masala powder & salt. Mix
well and fry until done. Then squeeze lime juice & put
cilantro. Remove from fire.
Puff Preparation:
Melt vanaspathy and whip it till creamy & keep it aside.
Take the dough & knead
once again until it becomes smooth & elastic. Roll the
dough into a large thin
rectangle on a flat surface by dusting with remaining
maida. Apply vanaspathy to
2/3rd of the rectangle leaving 1/2 an inch space all
around.
Fold the empty portion (without vanaspathy) first and the
other side (with
vanaspathy) on top of it. Roll this lightly into a
rectangle and repeat the same
process twice using the remaining vanaspathy.
Cut this into small rectangles and keep the stuffing at
the center & fold across.
Seal the edges with water. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Pre heat the oven at 300 C. Apply little water to a tray
and arrange the puffs with
enough space in between. Brush little milk on top of the
puffs and bake for 45
minutes until golden brown. Serve hot.
