Veg Puffs / Pattice is a popular snack which you get in Indian Bakeries. This snack is a veggie stuffed puff pastry sheet which tastes delicious with the stuffing in it. These pastries are a small recreation of the Hindustan bakery Pattice which we had growing up in Pune. Few day back I had posted the Puff pastry sheet recipe and also tried the Cream rolls with it. With many requests posting these pastries with those sheets now.
Veggie puffs are made using a filling made out of various veggies like the potatoes, peas, carrots, corn etc. I have used only potato and peas since that is the authentic recipe for veggie puffs. These puffs are stuffed with the filling and baked to eat a crispy and spicy little snack.
