- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (e.g., carrots, peas, potatoes)
- 1 tablespoon chopped coriander leaves
- Oil for frying
Instructions:
-
Prepare Pastry Sheets: Begin by keeping the pastry sheets at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure they are easy to work with.
-
Prepare Filling: Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and ginger paste, and fry until fragrant.

Cook Vegetables: Add the mixed vegetables to the pan and sauté until they are tender. Sprinkle in the chili powder and garam masala powder, and continue to cook without adding water.
-
Seasoning: Once the vegetables are cooked, add salt and lemon juice to taste. Stir in the chopped coriander leaves for a burst of fresh flavor.
-
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.
-
Prepare Pastry: Roll out each pastry sheet slightly and cut it into desired size rectangles. Spoon the vegetable mixture onto the center of each rectangle.
-
Seal Puffs: Using a little water, dampen the edges of the pastry rectangles and fold them over the filling to form a puff. Press the edges firmly to seal in the delicious filling.
-
Bake: Place the sealed vegetable puffs on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the outer layer is golden brown and crispy.
-
Serve Hot: Once baked to perfection, remove the vegetable puffs from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these delightful treats hot with your favorite chutney or sauce!
