Puffs

I love puffs so much.I never get bored of this snack. I remember my school days when there used to be 2 bakeries kings bakery and Greatest bakery near by. Getting puffs from there and having was like a special occasion for me and my brothers.

Now only the Greatest bakery is there.Every evening we can get fresh hot puffs there. They just melt in the mouth. Even now when i pass this bakery i don't miss the chance grab 1 or 2.

The masala inside the puffs gives a great taste to the puff. The masala can be prepared as per our wish.The only thing is it should be little dry.U can add either boiled eggs ,veggies or chicken to this masala.
