Vegetable puff

When it comes to my tea time, I like to have some snacks & biscuits for munching along with a cup of tea. Occasionally, I spend little more time for its preparation. I bought puff pastry sheets & found lying in the fridge for few days, immediately I decided to make this tasty & my favourite vegetable puff. It was crispy & crunchy and perfect with tea. I remember my younger days, amma keep it ready after we come from school. Lovely days :)

• Add corriander powder, chaat masala, chopped corriander & finally lemon juice.
• Allow the stuffing to cool.
• Beat the egg white & keep aside.
• Meanwhile cut the puff pasty in the desired shape & size. (I made rectangle shapes).
• First, brush the egg white in the corners of the individual puff pastry. Stuff the vegetable mixture & seal the corners.
• Also, brush the egg white on the top of the stuffed puff pastry on either side.
• Rest the stuffed pastry in the freezer for 5 mins before baking.
