Curry Puff (Vegetable stuffed Pastry sheets)

Curry Puff


This recipe goes into my all time favourites.Real quick and easy to make.


Ingredients:
Potatoes chopped(small chunks)-2 medium
Tomatoes chopped-2 medium
Onions sliced-2 medium
diced carrot-1/4 cup
green peas-1/4 cup
turmeric powder-1/4 tsp
salt
red chilli powder-1 tsp
garam masala powder-1 tsp(optional)
oil-4 tbsp
Pastry puff sheets-2 or 3





Procedure:
1)Take oil in a pan add onions,potato chunks,tomatoes,carrot and fry them together till half tender.
2)Now add peas,salt,turmeric powder,red chilli powder,garam masala and let the whole mixture cook for around 10 to 15 min on low to medium flame.
3)When all the vegetable are cooked and flavoured enough switch off the heat.

Stuffing:
1)Take the pastry puff sheets place the above mixture in the middle of the sheet and wet the sides of the sheet,above and below edges as well with slight water just enough to hold the two edges of sheet intact  when baking.
2)The sheets can be folded into any shape.They can also be cut vertically if smaller size is desired.
3)In a baking tray place the stuffed sheets .
4)Preheat the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 to 10 min.
5)Then place the tray inside and let it bake at 400 for 15 minutes or till the puff has flakes.
6)All set to go into our tummy.
7)Serve with tomato sauce.


P.S:Donot burn the stuffing while cooking.Bake careful its just a matter of 15 minutes.Garam masala is optional but it would add a very good flavour to the puff pastry and reminds me of the curry puff I used to eat in my country.


Storage:The curry can be relished if refrigerated for 3 days.I will let you know how I used my curry for 3 days.Well the 3rd day is a real fast recipe and fills our stomach very well.
