Who can forget the curry puffs from 'Iyengar Bakery'? I can't. So to relive those 'Curry Puff' days, I prepared them the easier way, so to say. The puff pastry sheets are a boon in many ways as they enable you to satisfy certain cravings. On the other hand they are loaded with fat. So to strike a balance, is a big deal..Anyway this is the first time I made them owing to pressure from my cravings :). I guess the next step is to make these puff pastry sheets at home and see if it can be made with less fat..
Ingredients -
Puff Pastry Sheet 1
For the filling -
Potatoes 3 (medium sized)
Turmeric a pinch
Garam Masala 1/4 tsp
Chilli Powder 1/4 tsp
Pudina as per taste
Salt as per taste
Seasoning (Oil 1 tsp, Jeera 1 tsp)
Coriander leaves for garnish (Optional)
Method Of Preparation -
Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheet as per instructions on the box (Approx 40 min).
Meanwhile chop the potatoes and boil them in the microwave or pressure cook the potatoes and cube them.
In a sauce pan, heat oil and add Jeera. After the jeera browns a little, add turmeric, and the cubed potatoes.
Also add the chilli powder, Garam masala and salt as per taste. (Chat masala or any masala as per taste can also be added).
I sprinkled dried mint leaves and mixed them well. The filling is now ready.
Spread the thawed puff pastry sheet and cut them into nine equal pieces.
Fill in a spoonful of filling in each piece and close them.
Arrange all the nine puffs in a greased , foil lined cookie tray.
Preheat the oven at 400 deg F and place the tray in the oven and bake them for about 13-15 min. Mine were ready in 14 min.
Makes 9 puffs
