  • Take puff pastry. I had made small puffs and hence cut the pastry into 9 parts as shown. You can cut into four and make big puff. Place around 1-2 tbsp of prepared stuffing into each part.

  • Now arrange the puff on the baking tray lined with baking paper and bake in a pre heated oven @ 190 C for 20-25 minutes till golden and crisp.( I also like to lower the temperature to 150 C and keep for another 5-10 minutes. ) The aloo (potato ) puff are ready. Serve with coriander chutney and ketchup. To pack for picnic or lunch box let the cool to room temperature and then wrap them in aluminium foil and pack.
