FAQS

  1. What is the cooking process for making Vegetarian Puffs with boiled potatoes and peas?

    To make Vegetarian Puffs, start by heating oil in a pan and adding cumin powder until it sizzles. Then, mash boiled potatoes and mix them with spices like turmeric, red chilli powder, and garam masala. After cooking the mixture for about 5 minutes, add boiled peas and sauté for an additional minute. Finally, stuff the filling into puff pastry sheets, brush with milk, and bake at 210°C until golden brown.

  2. Are Vegetarian Puffs suitable for a vegan diet?

    The traditional Vegetarian Puff recipe includes milk for brushing the pastry. To make it vegan, you can substitute the milk with a plant-based alternative like almond milk or simply omit the brushing step. The filling itself is already vegan-friendly, made with potatoes and peas.

  3. What can I use as a substitute for puff pastry in Vegetarian Puffs?

    If you don't have puff pastry on hand, you can use phyllo dough or even make a simple dough using flour, water, and oil. Alternatively, you can use biscuit dough or even tortillas for a different twist on the recipe.

  4. How should I store leftover Vegetarian Puffs?

    To store leftover Vegetarian Puffs, let them cool completely and then place them in an airtight container. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them. Just make sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and then place them in a freezer-safe bag.

  5. What are some good side dishes to serve with Vegetarian Puffs?

    Vegetarian Puffs pair well with a variety of side dishes. Consider serving them with a fresh salad, mint chutney, or yogurt dip for added flavor. You can also serve them alongside a spicy curry or a tangy tamarind sauce for a delightful meal.
