Working with the puff pastry sheets — When rolling the puff pastry sheet, ensure it is at room temperature to handle it easily. Also, roll it onto a floured surface to prevent it from sticking to the board. A helpful tip — The dough may stick to the rolling pin and the board while spreading in hot and humid weather. To prevent it from sticking, place the rolling pin and the board in the fridge for some time. The chilled rolling pin and board make the task easy and convenient. For the ultimate crispiness — Chill your freshly filled raw puff pastry sheets before baking as this step will ensure extra flakiness and crispy texture The next day, cut the thawed pastry sheets and fill them with the cooled paneer filling. Now, line them on the baking tray, leaving spaces in between. Cover the sheet pans tightly with a cling wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to a day in advance. When ready to serve, take out from the fridge and bake them as directed. Taking the flavors up a notch — Add some mozzarella cheese to your paneer filling to bring some extra flavor and cheesiness to the delicious paneer puff appetizer. Grease the baking tray — Greasing your baking sheet with a bit of oil or butter will prevent the puff pastries from sticking to the tray. Greasing also makes it easier to remove the puff pastries when they are baked.
Healthy and creative variations — These spicy paneer bhurji puffs are prepared using paneer as the base ingredient for the filling. However, you can replace paneer with tofu and also use other veggies like mushrooms, fresh spinach leaves, etc. If you like the pastry puffs spicier, you may also add an extra half a teaspoon of crushed red chili flakes. Delight in different shapes — Feel free to experiment with different shapes for the puff paneer pastries. For making them square, cut them into squares, stuff them with the filling, chill for a while and bake! A tempting treat — Stuffed pastry puffs look super tempting when baked in deep golden color. To attain this, cut puff pastry sheets and egg-wash with a brush. If you like it vegetarian, replace eggs with milk wash.
