Mushrooms And Zucchini Puffs Recipe

Step 1: To begin making the Mushrooms & Zucchini Puffs, we will firstly make the puffs pastry

Step 2: In a bowl, add flour and salt

Step 3: Give it a mix

Step 4: In a separate bowl, add the lemon juice to the cold water and keep aside

Step 5: Now, add the frozen grated butter to the flour and mix it quickly with the help of a fork

Step 6: Do not use your hands, otherwise butter will start melting

Step 7: Start adding the cold water, a tablespoon at a time, and keep mixing with the fork

Step 8: Then bring it all together with your hands

Step 9: You will have a big rough ball of dough

Step 10: Put the dough on a flat surface and lightly pat it with your hand

Step 11: Then wrap it in a cling film and keep it in fridge to rest for a minimum of 1 hour

Step 12: You can prepare this dough in advance also

Step 13: You can keep it in the fridge for up to 3 days and up to 2 months in the freezer

Step 14: The next step is to make the filling

Step 15: In a non- stick pan, heat a teaspoon of oil and then add chopped mushrooms, zucchini, and a teaspoon of salt

Step 16: Sauté it for about 5-10 minutes or until the water released from the vegetables dries up

Step 17: Take the vegetables from the pan, pu it in a bowl and keep aside

Step 18: Now, in the same pan, add butter and as soon the butter heats up, add garlic and onion

Step 19: When the onion becomes golden brown, add the sautéed mushrooms and zucchini

Step 20: Next, add salt and thyme, and cook for a minute

Step 21: Remove from heat and keep aside to cool down

Step 22: The final step is to prepare the puffs

Step 23: To begin with, put your oven on preheat at 200°C and line your baking tray with parchment paper

Step 24: Next, add egg and milk in a bowl and lightly beat it to prepare the egg wash

Step 25: If you don’t want to use egg, then you can use only milk

Step 26: Now, take out the prepared dough from the fridge and pat it down on a lightly floured surface

Step 27: Using a rolling pin, roll it out to the thickness of a chapati/roti

Step 28: You can use dry flour whenever the dough starts sticking to the surface

Step 29: For easier handling, you can take half of the prepared dough at a time as it will be easier to roll out

Step 30: Using a round utensil, cut out the round shapes from the rolled out dough

Step 31: I used a 5-inch bowl to cut and it made around 13-14 puffs

Step 32: Now, on half portion of the cut out sheets, first put some grated cheese

Step 33: Then spread the cooled prepared filling on top of the cheese

Step 34: Make small cuts on the other half and then fold it over to close the puff

Step 35: Using a fork, press the edges of the puffs to seal them properly

Step 36: Now, lightly brush the puffs with egg wash/milk wash and sprinkle sesame seeds on top

Step 37: Put the prepared puffs on the baking tray and bake at 180°C for about 25 minutes or until the puffs become golden brown

Step 38: Serve Mushrooms & Zucchini Puffs Recipe along with some Tomato Ketchup and hot cup of Masala Tea as an evening snack or at your tea or Kitty parties
