Ingredients

• 2 sheets frozen puff pastry sheets
• 2 medium potatoes
• 1 medium carrot
• 0.5 cup green peas
• 1 medium onion
• 1 teaspoon ginger-garlic paste
• 0.5 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon garam masala
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Thaw the frozen puff pastry sheets at room temperature according to the package instructions.

Step 2

Peel and dice the potatoes and carrots into small cubes. Finely chop the onion and cilantro.

Step 3

Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 4

Add the chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.

Step 5

Add the ginger-garlic paste and sauté for 2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 6

Stir in the diced potatoes, carrots, and green peas. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and garam masala. Mix well.

Step 7

Add salt and two tablespoons of water. Cover and cook the vegetables until they are tender, about 10 minutes.

Step 8

Once cooked, remove the lid and let any excess moisture evaporate. Stir in the chopped cilantro and mix well. Let the filling cool completely.

Step 9

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 10

Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheets a little to smooth them out. Cut each sheet into 6 equal squares.

Step 11

Place a tablespoon of vegetable filling in the center of each square.

Step 12

Brush the edges of the pastry squares with water using your finger or a pastry brush.

Step 13

Fold each square diagonally to form triangles or fold them into rectangles, ensuring the edges are sealed by pressing them with a fork.

Step 14

Place the filled puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 15

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the puffs are golden and flaky.

Step 16

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your homemade veg puffs!
