Puff the name itself tells us.......It is puffed up,fluffy and flacky.It is the basic thing to make with various stuffings.A vegetarian,Non-vegetarian or even sweet.It is so crispy and flaky by the way it is prepared.Needs more attention and patience to make this pastry.I tried it for 3 or more times but got it right only now.........
