Cooking
- Step 1
Heat oil in a pan and add heeng and fennel seeds. When splattering starts, add ginger and green chilies.
- Step 2
Add a pinch of turmeric powder, then add boiled potatoes. While adding boiled potatoes, mash a bit of each one.
- Step 3
Add coriander powder, amchur powder, chaat masala, red chili powder, and salt to the mixture from step 2. Mix everything well and fry for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Step 4
Sprinkle garam masala and chopped green cilantro at the end.
- Step 5
Again, mix everything well, and then turn off the heat and let the mixture cool.
- Step 6
Take pastry sheets and cut them into 5-inch by 5-inch squares. Fill stuffing, which you prepared at step 5, and seal puffs from all sides. Just prick all sides with a fork.
- Step 7
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Now put all Veg Puffs in the oven on a baking tray for 15 minutes. Ensure that all Veg Puffs turn a light golden brown. Turn off the stove and remove all the Veg Puffs. Enjoy them with ketchup.
Serving
To give a twist to serving, open the Veg Puffs from the middle and place ketchup and Ratlami Sev in the center, then close them back up. This will give another level of taste to Veg Puff. You can serve Veg Puff with tea or coffee. Or pack the kids' lunchbox.
