Ingredients:

1.Frozen Puff Pastry sheets
2.Butter for greasing

For Veggie Puffs:

1.Boiled and chopped potato - 1 no
2.Frozen peas - 4 tbsp
3.Finely chopped Carrots - 5 tbsp
4.Finely chopped beetroot - 4 tbsp
5.Finely chopped beans - 4 tbsp
6.Sliced onion - 1/2
7.Chilli powder - 1 tsp
8.Garam Masala - 1 tsp
9.Salt - to taste
10.Oil - 1 tbsp ( i use canola)

For Egg Puffs:

1.Hard boiled egg - 1
2.Sliced onion - 4 tbsp
3.Chilli powder, turmeric powder - a pinch
4.Garam masala - a pinch
5 Salt - a pinch

Preparation:

1.Heat oil in the pan and saute the onions till translucent.
2.Then add the Veggies one by one to saute with chilli powder, garam masala and salt.
3.Saute it for a while and finally add the boiled potato. Close the pan with the lid and put the fire to medium.
4.Take out the veggies in the separate plate to cool. In the same pan make the stuffings for Egg puffs saute the onions with powders and add the Halved egg.
5.Thaw the pastry sheet for 30 mts while preparing the stuffings and put the oven to 400 deg.
6.Now cut the pastry sheets to your desired shapes and apply milk or water at the edges of the pastry to seal it.
7.Fill the veggie stuffings little bit in the middle of the pastry sheet and seal the edges gently.
8.For Egg Puff, do the same like veggie stuffings and seal the edges .
9.Grease the baking sheet with butter and bake the puffs to 15 minutes till you see golden brown.
10.After 15 mts leave the puffs to cool.
11.Enjoy the Veggie and Egg puff for your tea time snack. For yesterdays evening snack we tried this yummy puffs with tomato ketchup.

Note:

1.Boil the egg with salt to hard for 20 mts, then only it comes easy to halve it.
2.I like veggie puffs with many veggies so i added different vegetables, you can try with sweet stuffing, Greens, beans, minced chicken or lamb whatever your favourite.
3.If you want shiny puffs , on top apply egg wash .(I didnt apply egg wash for my puffs).
