She had given this recipe for Nita, but I made full use of it. I was scared to try these bcos it was the first time I was using puff pastry, but it was one of the best dishes.
The result was a beautiful puff, which was crispy and flaky on the outside, and spicy and flavorful inside. Just be careful when you bite into a hot puff though, the spicy chicken just hits you.

Chicken Puffs
Recipe for 4 puffs
1 sheet Pepperidge Farm Puff pastry – Thawed at room temperature for 40 mins
2 boneless skinless chicken thighs (or breasts)
½ tsp cumin seeds
1 small onion finely chopped
2 tsp ginger garlic paste
3 green chilies finely chopped
1 tsp turmeric
1-2 tsp red chili powder
2 tsp coriander powder
2 tsp tandoori masala
1-2 tsp amchoor powder
1 tblsp Green coriander
Salt to taste
1 tblsp oil
Chop the chicken into very small pieces. Heat oil. Then add cumin seeds. Then add the chopped onions and fry till golden brown.
Add ginger garlic and green chilies and fry for a minute.
Then add turmeric, red chili, coriander and tandoori masala powder and fry for 30 secs.
Add the chicken and salt and fry on medium heat till the chicken is cooked and is completely dry.
Add the amchoor powder and chopped coriander and mix well. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Take the thawed pastry sheet. Cut it into 4 parts. Put 1 tblsp or more filling in each pastry and then fold it over to make a V shape. Put water on all sides and press it nicely to that the pastry sheet sticks.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. You can brush the top of the puffs with a mixture of eggs and water to get a golden color. I did not do that.
Bake in the oven for about 15-17 mins till golden brown. Serve hot with sauce or ketchup.

Looks great Vimmi, glad your son liked it. Spice, you cam always to your taste. Hope your son gets better soon, Tushar was sick too, skipped school for 2 days with cold and fever, went to school today.

Vimmi, it's fine with me if you reproduce the recipe for future reference as long as you have a link to the source as well like you have done already.
Some people don't like it when we put the recipe too but I don't mind at all.It's fine,don't worry about it,leave it as it is.Put some chocolate and jam in puffs next time.
Dal chawal kid! Aren't you lucky?:) Mine would prefer pizzas everyday if they can help it. They do like Parathas,palak paneer and Butter chicken etc, but they don't like southie food much. For them everything is "Indian", don't know the difference betn south or north Indian food!:D
Arvind is okay, he goes to work anyway even if he is sick.He LOVES his work!:)
Take it easy, don't blog if you can't. I had cut down too since Friday but kids are back in school, so got some time today. Take care.
