Kerala Egg Puffs

Hi there!!!!!!
Its been ages that I hopped in here. Anyway lets start with a Happy 2015..:)...Now to say, there are a lot of excuses but lets just leave it behind..
 Again its that part of the year where in the clouds in Beaverton decide to fight and finally cry throughout the day, making the earth completely wet and the air completely cold. I do miss those lovely snows back in Grand Rapids, but yeah you got to enjoy what you have...right??? And what is the best way to enjoy a rainy day to us Indians...yup something warm and spicy..doesn't matter if its fried, baked or steamed.. So here is one such baked recipe that is best for those evenings or for that matter any evenings...:)

6. Cut the puff pastry sheet to six equal pieces. Place about 1 tbsp of the mixture on one end of it. Place half of the egg and then wrap with the other side of the pastry sheet.
7. Press the edges of the pastry sheet lightly but firmly with a fork.
8. Place it on the baking sheet and continue it for the remaining pieces. Then just brush milk/egg wash on top of the pastry sheets.
9. Bake in the oven for 25 minutes. Once golden brown take them out and serve once warm.


Notes:
