POTLI PUFF AND MINI PUFF

Potli puff is made with Wheat flour and vegetables and baked it.  You can also deep fry them but immediately you have to serve as it tend to become soggy.  If it is made in maida, it will be crispy like samosas but I do not want to use maida  and fried item, hence  I baked.  The end product was really nice.
