Choco Puffs

-

 Like always, I bought a lot of puff pastry to try my hands at some sweet & savory puff pastry recipes over the last holiday season. And like always, I landed up using lesser than expected. 


So here I am with extra store bought puff pastry & in need of a good breakfast idea and staring inside the pantry when it hit me that I have never baked anything with the extra chocolate-hazelnut spread that I bough which no one likes in the house anymore since it is very very sweet.



So here's a two-ingredient (literally) made with chocolate-hazelnut spread & store bough puff pastry that immediately became a family favorite for breakfast. It is the perfect combination of sweet & buttery pastry and gives a good start to the day when you don't have to think about breakfast.



What I used

  • Store bought frozen puff pastry sheets
  • Chocolate Hazelnut spread (Nutella or any other brand)

Process

  • Defrost the puff pastry until they are softer & pliable 
  • Cut each sheet into 3 length wise pieces (They are usually folded that way so you can easily just cut in-line with the folds) 
  • Then cut each strip into three pieces. Each piece will make one chocolate puff for us. 
  •  Spoon in 2 tbsp chocolate spread onto each piece 

    •  

     

  •  Fold it over -->  seal with wee bit water --> Tighten up the sides with the fork (It also makes it look pretty)

    •  

     

  •  Brush with butter before baking --> Bake on 350F for about 35-40mins until flaky golden color.

    • Enjoy with coffee or tea in the morning breakfast. 

    This will serve as a good after-school snack as well. 

    PS : This is not an entirely healthy snack option but it is a damn easy one.

    Gluten Free Almond Flour Mango Cake

     Here's my take on the Gluten Free mango Cake.... There's not a story behind it other than the fact that I am trying to reduce sugar & gluten in my diet due to the health reasons & this cake gave me everything that I need for those late evening sweet cravings without feeling guilty or sad or having to plan extra time on the treadmill the next day.  This cake is made from almond flour so it's on the denser side & not entirely fluffy BUT it is soft & makes for an awesome tea time accompaniment.  Here's what I used... Wet ingredients 1 cup mango puree 3 eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or butter) Dry ingredients 2.5 cups of Almond flour 2 tsp baking powder Process First mix all the wet ingredients in a clean bowl using a wire whisk Then add in the baking powder & almond flour Mix nicely using a spatula - DO NOT USE Wire whisk  Transfer the contents to a greased 10 inch round cake tin Bake until tooth-pick comes out clean on 325 F for ab

     Since the last few days, I have been binge watching YouTube videos of some Odiya Vloggers in the US. There are some really entertaining folks who sing & dance & go about their lives while sharing ups & downs with us (their subscribers). Sometimes they get too personal but it's the age of Social Media so I guess that is perfectly fine if the creator is OK with that. These folks that I watch are mostly girls ..Actually they are all girls.. hmm.. time for me to expand the scope a bit?? may be !!.  Anyways, one of the girls, lives in the eastern part of US & has a HUGE Odiya friends circle who meet almost every week for a party or picnic or potluck and she makes these yummy (almost) contemporary style Odiya food recipes that it makes me want to go back to the east coast & make her my sister. Yes, I used to live there & the first chance I got I left because of the harsh winters. I just could not bear the mere thought of getting up at 7am in the morning & spe

    Masala Atta Chakuli

    "Chakuli" in Odisha comes in mainly three forms: Regular Chakuli - Made with Dosa batter (Rice + Urad Daal) -  Maida Chakuli - Made with Maida a.k.a Refined All-purpose flour And finally Atta chakuli - Made with "Atta" a.k.a Whole wheat flour Atta Chakuli is usually a form of sweet pancake in Odisha. It is a very good breakfast usually made on week days where making roti/paratha is either boring or time consuming. Growing up, I was not a fan of the dish though because it is sweet & as a kid I did not have a sweet tooth. I still don't & I think I am blessed because sugar kills (like literally).  This recipe was a result of three things... - I was sick of eating rice & poha (basically gluten-free) and wanted something different but should have tons of veggies 🍅 🌽 🌶  - I wanted something that is NOT sweet - I did not want to make roti (I am not very good at it & the Rotimatic is resting in the garage) Because of the above mentioned reasons, I sta
