    Blogging Marathon# 53: Week 2/ Day 2
    Theme: Movie Night Snacks
    Dish: Curry Puffs/ Veg Puffs

    Curry puffs or veg puffs used to be my favorite bakery item during school and college days. Egg puff was also ordered very frequently. After coming to the US, I learnt that they can be easily made at home using frozen puff pastry.

    Homemade Veg Puffs

    So for Day 2 of 'Movie night snacks', I made us some curry puffs and served them with good old ketchup 🙂 We watched a movie too while eating the snack, but now I don't remember the name of the movie. I used to have real good memory and knowledge of films when I was in India. But now, all the movies seem the same and I get confused between the actors. Also we've lost patience and interest in watching the long Indian movies. So most of the movie, read songs and fights, are seen in fast forward.

    Homemade Veg Puffs

    These curry puffs can be filled with any of your favorite stuffing or curry. Use the same filling you use for kachoris (curried peas is a great filling), caramelized onions, use just one veggie or a mixture. These puffs bake at a high temperature for a few minutes.

    If you have the time, make your own puff pastry dough at home -- here's the recipe from Gayathri's blog. I used frozen one from Trader Joes.

    Ingredients

    • 1 package Puff pastry - sheet, thawed as per instructions

    For the Curry:

    • 1 Potato - medium, boiled and diced
    • 1 Onion - small, finely chopped
    • 1 Green chili - finely chopped
    • ½ tsp Ginger+garlic paste
    • ½ tsp Chili powder Red - (add more for a spicy curry)
    • ½ tsp Garam Masala
    • to taste Salt
    • 1 tbsp Cilantro , finely chopped

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and keep ready.
    • Heat 1tbsp oil in a pan, add onions, green chili and ginger+garlic paste. Cook till the onions turn translucent and are slowly getting brown around the edges, about 4~6 minutes.
    • Next add the mixed veggies and potato. Mix well and cook covered for 5 minutes.
    • Stir in the red chili powder, salt and garam masala. Mix well and cook for 2 minutes. Turn off the heat and sprinkle the chopped cilantro.
    • Let the curry cool for 5~10 minutes.
    • In the meantime, roll the puff pastry out slightly. Then cut it into 2 halves and then each half into thirds to make 6 puff pastry rectangles.
    • Place 1~2tbsp of the curry on one half of the rectangle. Brush some water along the corner of the puff pastry and pull the pastry over the curry to cover it completely. Pinch the edges to seal. Using a fork pinch the edges even more.
    • Repeat with the remaining pastry. Place the filled pastries on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown. Serve hot with ketchup.

      Same story in my household too. My husband hates song/ fight sequences and ever since we got married, I don't remember ever seeing any movie song sequence if we are watching at home. The kids seem to have picked the habit too. :)And those puffs make a great movie snack.

      that last photo is styled so well. I have a friend who likes to FF past the songs in the Indian movies and I have categorically refused to watch any more movies with him, so I guess I would never watch a movie with you 🙂

      My taste and interest in movies grew after getting married. Though we don't watch movies that frequent, have developed a flavor for art cinema and English movies. Just now commented on a veg puff post at valli's and now here, you guys are tempting me to make it now!!! Love the filling and that last click, hmmm, wish i can take it from the screen!!!
