Dilpasand or Sweet Puffs

Hi Everyone….

Well today I was very excited that I posted the Image of my recipe without a link for the recipe. Well here I am to post the recipe… Dilpasand as it is known as is a sweet puff with lots of filling which makes you tempted towards the dish. I use to love this a lot when I was a kid… Even when I grew up I use to have it… but my main reason to prepare this now is my hubby… he loves dilpasand…. Well to be frank he got a sweet tooth which makes me to cook all sweets for him… This one is a very easy recipe… In chennai you can find it in each and every bakery but then I never knew it was so easy to prepare. Now am happy as I could prepare this at home whenever I want.

This particular recipe can be prepared either using pastry puff sheets which are available in stores or else you can prepare it at home. I prefer to prepare it at home and I keep it in a zip lock bag to use it whenever I need one but the process of making at home is bit lengthy hence many prefer to buy it from shop, the reason that I prepare it at home is because I can use less butter and make it as and when I want. I will post the recipe for puff pastry some other day with each pic for each stage of preparation depicted. I have used cake piece too because in Chennai many shops they use it in the recipe. If you want you can omit it and use the rest of the ingredients.

Well the recipe goes as follow:

Puff pastry sheets – 6

Tutti fruity (Red Colour) – 50 gms

Tutti Fruity (Green Colour) – 50 gms

Fresh Coconut Scraped – ½ cup

Sugar – ½ cup

Chocolate Cake – 2 pieces (Optional)

Cardamom powder – ¼ teaspoon

Jeera Powder – ¼ teaspoon

First you need to roll out the puff pastry sheet length wise for a long puff or a circle for a round one. I preferred it to be long so I rolled it out as a rectangle shape. Now in a bowl mix all the rest of the ingredients properly, make sure the cake pieces are powdered while it gets mixed with other ingredients. Now place the filling inside the puff pastry sheet and seal it up properly. Preheat the oven at 130 C and place the sweet puff in it and bake for 20 mins.

If you want you can cook the same even in Microwave but you have to be very careful as the heat is more in Microwave hence you should take it out in 7 mins or you need to go on checking it.

Well hope all of you will try and let me know your feedback.
