Vegetable Puff | Step by step pictures

Vegetable Puff is always my favourite since my childhood. After coming to USA, bakery veg puff is one of the item I miss a lot. But we can easily get Frozen puff pastry sheets here.  Thaw the pastry sheets to room temperature. Choose vegetables of our choice for filling and prepare the filling. Bake it in oven and enjoy fresh hot puff with tea. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing Indian Bakery style Vegetable puffs.

Tips:
Adjust green chilly and chilli powder to your taste.
I have used carrots, beans and green peas. Use vegetables of your choice.
Brushing egg white on top of the pastry sheet will give a golden crust. Egg white can also be replaced with milk.
