Today's recipe is Indian Vegetable Puffs, mixed vegetables cooked with spices, and then baked with pastry sheets. It tastes awesome and is one of our favorite snacks at home. They are also fun to make. It is a great starter or appetizer at potlucks and parties and kids and people of all ages love them.

How to make Indian Vegetable puffs?
The filling in the puff can be any veggies of your choice. I used boiled and mashed potatoes, carrots, and peas mixed with spices. Once the filling is cooked and ready, the thawed sheets can be cut and rolled into rectangular shapes. A spoon or two of the vegetable filling is spread on the individual rectangular sheet.
The sides are pressed lightly with fingers to close or use water to seal and then bake till they turn crisp and brown. They taste great with ketchup or chutney. Hope you enjoyed reading about it and will give it a try if you haven't already done so! If you love this recipe with puff pastry you may also love the Egg Puffs with pastry sheets.
