Home » Appetizers » How to Make Vegetable Puffs – Indian Snack Recipe

Vegetable Puffs are a wonderful snack option for the days that you want something substantial and you can’t wait very long for it to be made!! These College-Canteen favorites are wonderful and the will take you back to the nostalgic ‘college days’. Relive the memories, at least the good parts with this easy recipe!

Ingredients:

Puff Pastry Sheets – 1 box (from the frozen section of a grocery store)

For the Stuffing:
Oil – 1 tsp
Onions – 1/4 small, finely chopped
Potato – 1 small, shredded
Salt – to taste
Carrots – 1/4, shredded
Paneer – 1/4 cup, shredded
Cumin Powder – 1/4 tsp
Coriander Powder – 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder – 1/8 tsp
Chaat Masala – 1/4 tsp
Dry Mango Powder (Amchur) – 1/4 tsp
Red Chili Powder – to taste

Method:

1. Take the sheets of Puff Pastry out and thaw them at room temperature for about 40 minutes.
2. Pre-heat the Oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
3. Now for the stuffing, take a small skillet and heat Oil on medium heat.
4. Once hot, add in the Onions and saute till they turn translucent.
5. Add in the Potatoes and a little salt. Mix well, cover and cook for 2-3 minutes till the Potatoes are cooked.
6. Add in the Carrots and the Paneer. Mix.
7. Add in the spices – Cumin Powder, Coriander Powder, Turmeric Powder, Chaat Masala, Dry Mango Powder and Red Chili Powder.
8. Mix really well and keep aside.
9. Cut the Pastry sheets strips into 3s to form a square.
10. Put 1 tbsp (approx) of the stuffing in the center.
11. Fold the Pastry Sheet to make a triangle.
12. Use a fork and gently, but firmly, press into the sides and press away (to form a design and help seal)
13. Put the Puffs on a cookie sheet lined with foil.
14. Place in the pre-heated oven at 400 degrees F for 15 minutes.
15. Once they are out of the oven, transfer them to a cooling rack and allow them to rest and cool down for 5 minutes.
16. Serve with chutney or ketchup.

Tips:
1. Use any vegetable and spice combination for the Puffs.
2. It is very important to allow them to cool for 5 minutes – this will make the puffs nice and flaky AND it won’t burn your mouth.
3. The Cooling rack is great but if you don’t have one, improvise – take the oven rack and give it some height and use that.
4. Optional – add finely chopped green chilies or/and cilantro.
4. Use up left-overs subzis, keema or just scramble some eggs – be innovative!

hetal Says:
January 12th, 2009 at 3:38 pm
Hi Mansi,

Unfortunately, you cannot fill the puffs and refrigerate them without cooking. The dough must be taken out of the freezer and thawed just prior to baking otherwise they will not puff correctly with all of the layers.

Our suggestion would be to make the filling ahead of time and stuff them when you need to. It does not take too long to stuff. Good luck!

Hi,
I have a question….what if I want to reheat the cooked puff pastries?…..is it advisable to prepare them just an hour ahead and just reheat them quickly after the guests arrive…what temperature of the oven do u just to do this at? and would it get burned?…would it remain puffed?

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Jay,

Reheating puff pastry is a little tricky. They tend to burn very quickly the second time around. You could just stuff them and keep them in the fridge (if its going to be less than an hour) and bake them when your guests arrive. It doesn’t take too long to bake. I wouldn’t keep them too long in the fridge because sometimes, the layers don’t puff properly.

If you do decide to bake them ahead of time, just keep them in a warm oven (200 degrees F) until your guests arrive.

Hi Shubha,

Unfortunately, you cannot fry these puffs. They will absorb way too much oil. You can use your samosa filling in them to make baked samosas.

No, you don’t have to boil the potatoes. Since they are shredded, they cook very fast.

Hi Hetal/Anuja,

This recipe is simply delicious. I am a great fan of your website & have learnt most of my cooking from you guys.

But I have had a problem with the puff pastries. I purchased them at Safeway Stores – Safewway Select Phyllo Dough Pastry Sheets.They are thin layered separate sheets. Is is the same that you have used here? My Puffs didn’t turn out well. I even buttered the layers in between the sheets & put them in oven. But we we ate it, we could taste the flour in the sheets of the puffs. Neither did they pluff up. Please help!!
Any suggestions on how can I solve this problem?

Thanks!
Hetal Mehta

Hi Hetal (nice name ),

Phyllo dough pastry sheets are not the same as puff pastry sheets. Pepperidge Farm makes the puff pastry that we use. Phyllo sheets are used for things like baklava – thin and crispy, not soft and flaky. Puff pastry ca be found in the freezer section with all the desserts. Good luck!

Hi Hetal,(Lovely name we got )

Thanks for your reply. I will try finding the puff pastry in the freezer section next time. But do you have any suggestions on how can I use the phyllo sheets instead of wasting them?

Thanks again!

You can make some great Baklava with the phyllo sheets. Unfortunately, we do not have a video or an exact recipe for it but bet you could find one on the net.

Hi Hetal & Anuja,

One query….i intend to make the stuffings one day ahead & bake the puffs the next day. In this case, approxmitaley for how long should the oven be pre-heated?

Please do reply to this. waiting for your response!

hetal Reply:
August 20th, 2009 at 2:09 pm
Hi Vidya,

The oven temp, cooking time and pre-heating time do not change. Since you’ll be keeping the stuffing in the fridge, you can warm it slightly (room temp) in the microwave before stuffing the pastry sheets.

Hi Hetal and Anuja

I tried to make these puffs and they came out very well with only one problem. The bottom layer turned dark brown and looked burned. It tasted very well though but in the next batch i tried reducing the oven temperature to 350-325 but in that case they didnt puff very well and were somewhat soft. I used a Gas oven. Do you think that could have made any difference? One of my friend told me that Puffs are usually dark brown at bottom.. is that true?

[Reply]
hetal Reply:
August 30th, 2009 at 9:49 pm
Hi Namrata,

Yes, to a certain extent, puffs do tend to be a “little” darker at the bottom because they come in contact with the hot baking tray. However, they should not be burnt. We don’t have a gas oven so we have not tried it and are not sure if that might be the case. Did you follow the thawing instructions that are on the box?

Hi Mandeep,
Anytime the outer layer gets cooked and the inner is raw…rule of thumb, lower temperature and cook longer. Every Oven is different and you might have to experiment a bit.
Also, hope the puffs were not too close to any of the elements…
Hope that helps!

Please help me..this is a urgent help!
Can i roll these sheets a little extra since i m gonna make this as a Appetizer and i feel this version is gonna be a little heavy. This way, i think i can make more puffs with a single sheet. Please tell me if it is a safe option to roll it out little. I did see that recent video of fruit tart that u guys made. In that u put some flour and rolled it more than its usual size.
Can i do the same thing here? I can use some flour right as u did?

Hi Mehak,
Over time, we have learnt some tips and tricks – this is one of those
If you would like to re-heat the puff-pastry – turn the oven on to the lowest setting, turn it off and then put the puff-pastry or the pin-wheels in for a little while till the get heated all the way thru.
They are still best had fresh right out of the oven…. Enjoy

Hi Hetal and Anuja,

I tried making these vegetable puffs but they didn’t turn out to be flaky as shown in the video or how they are usually!! I live in London and bought rolled puff pastry sheets from the frozen section as suggested by you ! I made the stuffing as told by you and it turned out to be yummm… but when I made the puffs … they were not flaky. I cooked them at 200C,grilling for approximately 25-30 minutes. But they turned to be more like biscuits … .

I love vegetable puffs… so tried them !!

Please advise as to what can be done to make it flaky.

Thanks for the recipe. I hope I will be able to make it properly someday

Pastry sheets are available in most grocery stores in the frozen foods section — usually by the desserts.

This always take me more that 15 minutes to cook!!! Today my husband had to take them to work for an office party & it took me almost 30 mins!! at 400 F … dont know why.this happens whenever I make puffs. I thaw them for 40 mins as the pepperidge farms puffed pastry sheets box says!

Hi Pooja,

Maybe your oven is not heating properly or temperature reading is incorrect.

Hi Pari,

Puff pastry really needs to be baked. Maybe you can invest in a toaster oven.

Hello Hetal and Anuja,

I tried this out today and the taste was simply superb…Your 2 ladies rock , luv you for all your recipes.
While, my Puff was great in taste, i think it wasnt that great in shape , i did thaw it for 40 mins but by the time i put the mixture and put them in on the tray,it got little soggy and so got little bit deformed shape , but over all they tasted yummmmyyyyy…and i have only u both to thank….they taste exactly like the patties we get in traditional bakery stores in India…so thats a million once again!!!

Hi Deepthi,

Unfortunately, the puff have to be baked in a regular oven, not a microwave.

Hi Pooja,

Unfortunately, spring roll sheets will not work with this recipe. The puff pastry is made with layers and layers of sheets put together with butter inside, making it light and flaky when baked. We have an egg roll recipe in which you could use the sheets.

Hi Hetal and Anuja,

Can I do all the steps until the puffs are ready to bake…. Then refrigerate them until my guests arrive, maybe around 1 hour, so that I can bake them and serve my guests hot. is it possible ?? If I can refrigerate should I thaw them before I put in the oven and how long?

Please answer.

Hi Sobhana,

Yes, you should be able to stuff them and keep the puff in the fridge for about an hour. Don’t keep them too long or they may not puff well. They can go straight from the fridge to the oven…no need to bring them to room temp.
