Add chili powder, Curry Masala Powder and fry for 2 or 3 minutes till the raw smell leaves. Do not forget to stir often as it would get burnt.
- Allow the cooked onion to cool down for 15 min. Take the Pastry sheet, and keep a spoon full of onion, do not over fill as u cannot close the edges. Close the edges of the pastry sheet carefully. Do it slowly as it my break the sheet. Close by pressing the edges together in hands.
- In a Oven tray spread the Aluminum foil and spray some oil on top of the sheet. Spraying Oil is to avoid puff being stick to the sheet. Arrange the stuffed Puff in the oven tray. Preheat Conventional Oven to 400. Keep the tray inside for about 20 - 30 minutes. Turn the sides in the middle.
