A lot of bakeries in India sell delicious bread and an assortment of pastries, with an Indian twist! Ever since I was a kid, my favorite has been the vegetable puff pastries that are now sold not only at bakeries but also at many fast food joint.
These puffs are filled with potatoes and peas, spiced and mashed and then baked inside pastry sheets. A couple of years ago, I found these pastry sheets at the grocery store and tried to make the vegetable puffs at home. They tasted delicious! However, after I discovered Masala burgers at Trader Joe’s, I figured making the mashed potatoes mix is such a waste of time. The masala burgers are vegetable cutlets in themselves, so I use them instead!
This receipe can be twisted a little bit if you taste buds crave for spices. You can always add ginger, garlic and green chilly paste to the stuffing and make is more spicy. Another option is to add mozarrella cheese. In this receipe, but I’ve not tried that yet.
It goes well with Indian Chai!
