Puff palya - stuffing for puff pastry

My goto stuffing for puff or sandwich had mostly potatoes and then some vegetables + masala powders. And I would avoid cabbage(and it’s family). And because there was lot of potatoes, masalas would lose flavor by the end of the day.


This stuffing happened by chance. One time while making palya for puff, since I didn’t have enough potatoes, I added cabbage. This turned out exactly like Bangalore Iyengar bakery style puff. Cabbage not only complimented all masala powders very nicely but made it taste more like Indo Chinese.  Super happy with this accidental discovery.. 


Do try!

Masala Puri - 2

 Want some masala puri? 





This recipe is very similar to the first recipe of masala puri recipe I posted long time back(which can be found here). But there is little change in the procedure and masala. Instead of using raw ingredients for grinding, you sauté and then grind. Very small thing, but I loved subtle difference in the taste. I also liked the usage of pav bhaji masala here(It is my goto masala for many dishes these days). This one too, like the previous recipe, tasted restaurant quality.
