How to Make Special Vegetable Puffs

• Sift the flour with a teaspoon of salt and baking powder.
• Mix butter with the flour and knead into a stiff dough using very less water. Keep aside.
• Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan, saute the chopped ginger and onions lightly.
• Add all the vegetables, chilly powder, pepper powder, coriander leaves, garam masala and salt.
• Add a little water.
• Stir well and cook on low heat till the vegetables are cooked and all the water dries up.
• Remove and keep aside to cool.
• Now take the prepared pastry dough onto a floured board and roll out into a thin sheet.
• Cut rounds of about 10 cm diameter with a saucer.
• Put a little of the cooked vegetable on one half of the rounds and fold the other half over.
• Seal the edges by dampening with a little water.
• Prepare the puffs in this way till all the dough and vegetable mixture are used up.
• Heat oil in a fairly deep pan till smoky.
• Slowly drop in the puffs, one by one (as many as the pan can hold).
• Fry till crisp and brown on both sides.
• Remove from the oil and drain.
