Replace the mutton mince with crumbled paneer, finely chopped mushrooms, or a spiced potato and pea mixture for a delicious vegetarian alternative.
Use chicken mince instead of mutton. The cooking time for the filling will be slightly shorter, around 10-12 minutes.
For a milder version, use only Kashmiri red chilies which are known for their color rather than heat. For extra heat, add a finely chopped green chili to the filling.
Instead of triangles, you can shape the puffs into rectangles, circles (like a pot pie), or even create pinwheels by spreading the filling on the sheet, rolling it up, and slicing it.
Mutton is an excellent source of high-quality protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues, muscle growth, and maintaining overall body function.
This dish provides a good amount of heme iron from the mutton, a type of iron that is easily absorbed by the body. Iron is crucial for forming hemoglobin, which transports oxygen in the blood and helps prevent anemia.
The recipe uses spices like red chilies, which contain capsaicin, and turmeric, which contains curcumin. These compounds are known for their potential anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting properties.

A soggy bottom is usually caused by two things: the filling was too wet, or the filling was still warm when you assembled the puffs. Ensure your mutton filling is cooked until completely dry and has cooled to room temperature before placing it on the pastry.
Absolutely! You can substitute the mutton with 400g of crumbled paneer, finely chopped mushrooms, or a mixture of boiled and mashed potatoes and peas. Sauté the vegetarian filling with the same spices until dry.
For an egg-free version, you can brush the tops of the puffs with milk or heavy cream before baking. This will also help them achieve a lovely golden-brown color.
