Notes

1. It is important to prick the eggs before putting them in oil so that they do not splatter and also some curry sneak inside the eggs and make them more flavorful.
2. If you feel red chilly powder, pepper powder and ginger garlic gives you enough heat feel free to skip green chillies.
3. If you eat at dhabas the curries are always vibrant color to do same I have added paprika powder or Kashmiri lal mirch, if you do not like it feel free to skip it.

Puffed patties

PIZZA POP STICKS

http://yummilyyours.com/pizza-pops-pizza-stick/

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 30 minutes

Serves: 12-15 Pizza Pops

Ingredients

• 2 Puffed Pastry Sheets
• 1/2 cup marinara sauce
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese of choice
• 1/2 cup toppings of choice
• 12-15 lollipop sticks
• Egg wash (whisked egg – optional, does not alter taste)

Directions

1. Thaw the puff pastry sheet by placing it on a counter-top for about 30 min or by placing it in the refrigerator overnight.
2. Open up the sheet as per instructions and cut it up into 1.5 inch squares (I cut about 2-inch squares and thought they were a tad too big for the candy sticks).
3. True to their name, they will puff up in size once baked. Please keep that in mind while cutting out the squares.
4. As shown in the pictures, use 1 square at a time. Paste the stick onto it.
5. While working with one pastry square, cover the rest of them up with a moist paper towel to keep them from drying.
6. Please make sure the candy sticks you use are oven-safe. If not, first bake your pizza squares and then stick the lollipop stick into it. Although not a firm fix, it should work.
7. Layer a spoonful of marinara sauce onto the pastry square.
8. Top it with cheese and toppings of your choice.
9. Place another pastry square on top of the first one from step.
10. Press the sides lightly using your hand and seal it using a fork (as shown in the pictures).
11. Brush egg wash (whisked egg) onto the pastry squares to make them extra golden.
12. Bake in a pre-heated oven at 400°F for about 15-18 min or until the tops turn golden.

My Take:

Spinach or veggie toppings or pepperoni, these pizza pops can be made to suit your taste.

Replace the marinara with Alfredo sauce, and you've got Alfredo pizza pops.

Freeze the pizza pops for later use. Before brushing with egg wash, place the pizza pastry pops in a single row in the freezer. After about an hour, place all of them in a bag and seal them. You might have to bake for longer if using directly from the freezer.
