Dabeli swirls

Ingredients

Dabeli Masala

• 450 grams Potato boiled, peeled and mashed
• 4 tablespoon Dabeli Masala
• 2 tablespoon oil
• ½ cup water or as required

Other ingredients

• 490 gram puff pastry sheets (one box with 2 pastry sheets)
• 2 tablespoon milk

For topping (serving)

• Sweet chutney
• green chutney
• garlic chutney
• Finley chopped Onion
• Sev
• Masala peanut
• Pomegranate

Instructions

• To begin, thaw the puff pastry according to the package instructions. This will take 30-45 minutes. Don’t let it sit out any longer than that.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. (200 degrees C.) and line 2 large baking trays with parchment paper.

Dabeli filling

• Heat oil in a pan. Add dabeli masala and sauté for 30 seconds. Now add ½ cup water and mix well.
• Add boiled and mashed potatoes, mix well, and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. The mixture should be smooth and easy to apply. Add water and adjust the consistency if required.
• Switch off the flame and let the mixture cool down.

Make Dabeli Swirl

• Dust some flour on the working surface. Take one thawed puff pastry sheet on a working surface. Carefully open it.
• Lightly Roll thawed puff pastry out into a 9 x 12-inch rectangle.
• Spread half the dabeli filling over one-half of the pastry sheet, leaving the other half plain.
• Lift the plain pastry and fold it over on top of the dabeli masala to create a parcel.
• Again, gently roll the parcel into a rectangle, around 7×14 inches. Do the same with the remaining puff pastry sheet and dabeli masala.
• Cut the pastry into strips (as wide as you’d like) using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. I got 19 strips from one pastry. So, in total, I got 38 strips from 2 pastry sheets.

  Note - I got approximately 7 inches long and 0.7 inches wide pastry strips. 
• Take one strip onto a working surface. Twist the strip, then roll it into spirals. Follow the same process for the remaining strips.
• Place on the baking tray and spread 2 inches apart.
• Brush the tops and sides of each Swirl with some milk. This will help get a gorgeous golden color to the pastry and make it extra flakey.
• Place both the trays in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pastry is golden in color.
• Once fully baked, remove the tray from the oven.
• Allow to cool slightly, then serve with green chutney, sweet chutney, garlic chutney, masala peanut, pomegranate, sev, and onion.

  Tip - if you are serving for the party, let the guest add toppings on their own. You can arrange everything like a charcuterie board.

Notes

• You can quickly multiply the quantities to feed a crowd!
• Twist the pastry as tight as possible. Doing this will produce neat swirls.
• If the dough is too sticky, use more plain flour.
• To cut the dough into strips easily, use a pizza cutter/roller. It saves you so much time.
• Before baking, brush some milk all over the swirls. This will give them a golden brown color when baked.
