Ambikai, this is not available in Chennai. These are machine made pastry sheets and are quite hard to find in India, as you always have the comfort of buying freshly made curry puffs from the local bakeries, you really don't need these. Try import stores like " Amma nana", pls check directory for address, guess its close to Park Sheraton. Thanks.

Pls read the comment section, it has been discussed many times.

Dear Mullai, Atlast i got the pastry sheets , it is not in the form of sheets. we have to roll it. In the instruction it is mentioned the temp , my doubt is do we to bake it like cake in conventional oven with Fan??

Thanks,

Suchitra

Siva,

Once you bake, its good for a day and should not be refridgerated. Better when fresh and hot. Unbaked prepared turnovers can be kept in the fridge for a couple of days, though the packing instruction says no to refridgeration once the sheets are thawed, have tried that trick and it works. But its always good to stick to the packing instruction and make it fresh. Thanks !!

Dear Sathya, Possibilities are countless.

American dessert style : 1. Butter + Cinnamon + Sugar, 2. Cherries + cream, 3. Mixed fruits + cream cheese, Sugar + coconut filling.

American Savoury style : Butter + meat + cheese + Pepper + salt

priti

U can get in Target frozen section

Hi priti,

 U can get in WAL MART frozen section and these should be backed in conventional oven only,so that u can get tasty puffs.

Abish, wish you the same. You have to register to see the pictures. If you in Inida, then you won't find the sheets. Its possible to make but I've not ventured yet. Microwave doesn't help for this recipe, you need conventional oven.

u can try to search it in pick n save, wallmart,safeway stores.....may be u can get it frm

Priya, its hard for me as I'm not familiar with that area. Members from same place could help you. Did you check the freezer section, bcos Pepperidge farm is a very famous brand and there's no way to miss. If you cannot locate just get help from the grocer they might be able to help or atleast guide you as to where its available.

Selvi, nice to know someone from the same place. Yeah!! little bit of everything.. fun, hobby, hardwork.. Thanks for visiting.

All these store bought sheets will have clear instructions for baking, just follow them. Anyhow, once when they come to room temperature(like our chapati dough),1. stuff and bake or 2. make the puffs in the morning, line them in a wide tray and keep refridgerated (do not freeze) and then bake them the same evening.

Try Price chopper they should have under frozen section. It should be close to where they have the pie crust, phyllo sheets...

Hi Geetha, You can get Peppredige Farm Puff Pastry sheets from Stop & Shop store.

bye, enjoy it
Padma

Hi Geetha,

Can you let us know your location? Members from same place can help you find one. I'm from Michigan and found this at Kroger, Meijer and Farmer Jack.

Thanks a ton Mullai.
I'll def. follow ur guidelines for making puff.
I have few more queries to ask you.

1) i'm planning to make masal vada too as one of the appetizers. kindly tell me when i can grind the vada batter and what time i can start frying vadas? b'coz the party is at 7:00pm.

2)similarly tell me the time at which i can fry spring rolls too(ready made ones).

3) can i bake all the puffs using 4 large trays?(i can save time)?

Kindly answer my queries b'coz my preparation for sunday party depends solely on your answer.
Thanks n advance.

Who am I replying too? pls register.

1. You fry the vadas around 6 PM. Make the dough ahead of time and refridgerate, but don't include the onion and salt until you are ready to fry. Onion and salt tend to release water and make the dough watery. But the problem with this vada is they don't stay crisp for long time.

2. You can fry the rolls around same time, but these will be crisp if kept in oven like the puffs.

3. I don't think all will fit in one batch. Don't waste your pastry by saving time. If you plan to call so many people you have to take the effort. No offense pls. The reason I'm suggesting for 2 batches is, some dough might not cook and ultimately will end up throwing all. Hope you get my point here.

Thanks so much for replying to all my queries.

i've registered just now.

Just chopped with a sharp knife, keeping the chicken over a cutting board. You can also cut them into tiny pieces for this recipe.

Just follow the same recipe, ignore chicken and add any veggie of your choice.

You can use vege cutlet stuffing for veg puff... 

Hello there,

 Thank you so much for visiting. Actually you can still follow the same recipe for a veggie filling by just ignoring chicken. Instead you can add extra veggies like green beans, peas and cabbage. If you prefer egg, hard boil the eggs, cut them into half, stuff each square with one half, cover them with little veggie filling and seal. Good luck.
