Vegetable puff, veg puffs as we call it when we buy from bakery. With store bought ready made puff pastry sheets. Step by step photos.
Vegetable puff or veg puff is a nostalgia for me. I would have hardly had less than 10 times but just love it. It is a bakery stuff and never in my life thought I would attempt at home. Mostly, served as a part of tea party, office functions. For us, since masala powders are not used that much at home, this will be just a burst of flavors.
Main flavor in the stuffing will be ginger garlic paste, garam masala powder that lingers in your hand even after finish eating.
Today I tried this vegetable puff from store bought frozen butter puff pastry sheets. It came out nice, was a perfect tea time snack for my kid. He enjoyed this and wanted frequently😮. No wonder, my genes clearly passed on to my kid too, hehe.
Here's how I made vegetable puff:
I used readymade puff pastry sheets, so the job is just to make the vegetable stuffing. I tempered with cumin seeds, sautee onion & ginger garlic paste. Added some cooked mix vegetables and tomato. Added spice powders and salt and garnished with coriander leaves.
Variations:
Experiment with your choice of stuffing inside. You can try paneer or potato too. Also, the spice powders play an important role. I, at times add sambar powder (use Asian curry powder if you are new to sambar powder). Or use a combination of red chilli powder, coriander powder and a ¼ teaspoon of cumin powder.

Instructions

Notes
- Please note that some pastry sheets are thick that we need to dust and roll out. Some comes as such - just cut and use. So follow accordingly as per the type of pastry sheet.
- Some people confuse puff pastry sheets and spring roll pastry sheets. Both are different. Puff pastry gives layers as we need. While spring roll pastry sheets are single sheets as we need for the wrap.

Hi Raks, I want to try vegetable puffs but i am having a microwave with convention can i bake these veg puffs pls tell what is the procedure.
RAKS KITCHEN
I too have the same, you have to bake in convection mode, first preheat to 220 until it beeps, then bake at the same temperature for the told time.
sathu
hi raji

a doubt on this, IAM in US, for this can i use toaster oven where bake option is there, in oven means how many farenheit shud i keep, it is just pre heat the oven, switch it off, keep these sheets and bake it. can u help me on this, as i dont use oven tht much,... (:

You can try using it, I am not sure. Try with smaller quantity to experiment with.

Thangam Mohan
Hi ,
I tried the vegetable puffs today.. It came out very well..
But wanted to check with you regarding the puff pastry sheet.. I got the Pampas brand, which is more like a block and you need to roll out the individual sheets..
May I please check which brand of the pastry sheets you had used ? and was it a block or do you have individual sheets which you can use as it is?
If it is a block, can you pls post pics of how to roll it out evenly into these rectangular shapes..
Thank you!!
Saranya A
hi.. it looks yummy.. i want to make a try..
can this puffs be cooked without oven?
Raks anand
What I bought is also pampas I think, but it was ready made rolled out sheets of 4 pack.
Raks anand
You cannot get this texture of layers if not cooked in oven.
Thangam Mohan
Thank you for the quick response! Will try it again next time 🙂
Shweta
Hi can I use the Spring roll pastry sheet for this recipe?
Raks anand
You can bake it like samosa only, coz no layer will come.
~♥ ๓เtร ♥~™
It looks awesome ! I am going to try this out tomorrow. Will post on your fb page once they r do e. Quick question though : Once you put the filling and cover it with the pastry..we would need to seal it right? Or just fold and Leave it? Would the layers come Well?
Rohit Purohit

First time I baked veg puffs, it turned out amazing!! Could not any pictures as it got over soon:).. Thanks a lot 🙂
Radhika Venkatesan
Tried this out and the taste was good but didnt achieve the crispness and colour as ur pic.. I had to turn the puff midway to make the top layer golden brown but still didnt get the sides in the same colour..
What might b the reason
Raks anand
Could it be any oven heating settings? Also milk wash will give you nice colour

Radhika Venkatesan
milk wash mean? brushing milk along with butter before baking?
Raks anand
Yes
Viji kannan
Hi raji, can u tell me baking temperature?
Raks anand
Usually, in all baking recipes, the pre heat and baking temperature are same. So in this case it's 220 deg C 🙂

Hi Raji, how do I thaw the puff pastry sheet?
Raks anand
Thawing means, keeping out in room temperature until it comes to maangeable texture. Usually thawing time will be mentioned in the pack itself.
Smith K
I use regular puff pastry sheets available in Indian stores in US. What might be the reason for not getting many layers?? I would love to have layers in my puff just the way i used to see in puffs from Bangalore bakeries.
Raks anand
Make sure the pastry is stored in good conditions. Usually readymade pastry sheets gives layers without any special treatments. Hope you preheat the oven. Refer the package too for any specific way mentioned in it. Hope this helps
Suganya
I'd like to make this a few hours ahead of the party. Any reheating tips?
creative sensibility
Can these be made & stored in the refrigerator for baking the next day? If so how? And if not then if I bake them then what will be the best way to make them crispy again the next day. I have to make many for a party & I'm using Puff Pastry Dough.
Raks anand
Yes you can, may be you can reheat again by preheating the oven at 190 and leave the puffs inside for 4-5 minutes.
rheena
Really yummers, thanks!
nithya

Raks Anand
Hi Divya, sure you can try puffs in air fryer. 10 mins at 200 deg C in a preheated air fryer. Hope this helps
