Step 1

Rinse or wipe and then chop 200 grams white button mushrooms. Also slice 1 medium to large onion and chop 1 medium tomato and 1 green chili.

Step 2

You will need about 3 cups of chopped mushrooms, 1/2 cup of thinly sliced onions and 1/3 cup chopped tomatoes.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a pan. Then add sliced onions.

Step 4

Mix the onions very well and saute on a low to medium flame. For quick cooking of the onions, you can add a pinch of salt while sauteing them. Saute till they start to turn light golden.

Step 5

Then add ½ teaspoon ginger-garlic paste.

Step 6

Stir and saute till the raw aroma of ginger-garlic goes away.

Step 7

Add the 1/3 cup chopped tomatoes and chopped green chilies.

Step 8

Stir and saute till the tomato softens.

Step 9

Then add 1/4 tsp turmeric powder, 1/4 tsp red chilli powder and 1/4 tsp garam masala powder.

Step 10

Mix the spices with the onion-tomato mixture.

Step 11

Now add the chopped mushrooms. Mix very well.

Step 12

Then add salt as per taste.

Step 13

Stir and saute mushrooms on a medium heat.

Step 14

First the mushrooms will release a lot of water.

Step 15

Continue to saute till all the water has evaporated.

Step 16

When all the water has evaporated and the mixture has become dry, then switch off the flame. Add 2 tablespoons chopped coriander leaves. Mix again. Allow the mushroom stuffing to cool down at room temperature.

Step 17

Before you begin, making the mushroom puffs, preheat your oven to 250 degrees celsius/480 degrees fahrenheit for at least 15 minutes.

Step 18

Roll the puff pastry sheet evenly to get a ¼ to ½ inch thick base.

Step 19

Now slice in rectangles. For a neater finish you can trim the edges if you want. The trimmed edges can be joined to make a dough or you can just roll them up in a spiral shape and bake with the mushroom puffs.

Step 20

Place 2 to 3 tablespoons of the stuffing in center. Brush the edges with water.

Step 21

Then join and lightly press the edges of each puff. Don’t press too much as we want the layers in them. If you want you can even press lightly with a fork to give some design. Some milk can also be brushed on the puffs to get a golden color.

Step 22

Now place them in the preheated oven in the center rack with both the top and bottom heating elements on.

Step 23

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes at 250 degrees celsius/482 degrees fahrenheit. The crust should become golden.

Step 24

Since oven temperatures vary, keep a check while baking. If your oven does not have a temperature of 250 degrees celsius/482 degrees fahrenheit, then use the maximum temperature in your oven for both preheating and baking.

Step 25

When mushroom puffs have become golden, then remove them from the oven.

Step 26

Wait for 2 to 3 minutes and with a spatula (or with your hands if you can tolerate the heat) lift them and place on wired baking tray.

Step 27

Serve mushroom puffs warm or at room temperature with green chutney or tomato ketchup or mint chutney or cilantro chutney.

Step 28

If not serving, then once they cool down, store them in an air tight box or container.
