Vegetable Puffs Recipe With Pastry Sheets

Vegetable Puffs in a dish

The vegetable puffs always reminds me of bakeries in India where I used to eat them every so often while growing up. Lately I feel like I am missing on lot of little delights in life and whenever I try to tell my boys about my growing up in India, they seem to be not able to relate to it.

When we lived in New York, every so often we would go to New Jersey to do Indian grocery shopping and mainly to enjoy the treats in Hot Breads. We not only eat but also bring back home these vegetable puffs, paneer puffs, personal pizza and so on.

One of my best friends in New York made awesome vegetable puffs and I used to enjoy eating hers. Whenever I felt like eating puff, I just have to ask her and she would make a large batch of it for me.

After we moved here to Oklahoma, one of our new friends had made the puffs and brought it to our house when we had a small gathering here. That is when I realized I realized that since I always had someone make puffs for me, I have never made it myself.

It is so easy to make these puffs especially since we get the readymade puff pastry sheets available in the market, but I never got around to making them.

Since this was my first time making these, I stuck to the traditional potato and peas filled puffs. We enjoyed steaming hot puffs for dinner along with some stories of growing up and memories of New York.

I always thought I was a very adaptable person, but I have been surprised about how much I miss New York and not to mention India.

      Thanks a lot Divya! I also do not like the pastry sheets from Indian stores. I always use Pepperidge farm pastry sheets. You can find them in any US grocery stores in the freezer section.
