Indian puff pastries (also known as curry puffs in India): These lip-smacking pastry sheets filled with spicy vegetable filling (vegetable curry) is a popular Indian snack dish. With frozen puff pastry sheets readily available in the market, these are so easy to make and are perfect as an appetizer/snack and are perfect for large gatherings. They can be served with Cilantro chutney or ketchup. —Swetha Patel
