Indian style cheese corn puffs

One of the quickest and a popular appetizer is this cheese-corn puff... my twist - spice it up with some  Indian flavours!!
All you need to make sure is that your freezer is stocked ;)


Ingredients:
Some frozen spinach
Some frozen white corn
Some frozen yellow corn
Ready made frozen mini puff pastry shells
Ricotta cheese
Salt
Pepper
Peanut oil
Roasted cumin powder
Roasted coriander powder
Red chilly powder
Garam Masala

Method:
1. Place the frozen spinach with some water, to thaw and cook, in microwave for 2-3 minutes.
2. After this drain and remove most of the water from the spinach so that it is almost dry.
3. Repeat step 1 and 2 with frozen corn.
4. In a pan, heat some oil. Now put chilly powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, pepper and salt - roast for a few seconds.
5. Now put spinach and corn and mix well with the spices.
6. Turn off the heat and let it cool until just warm(5-7 minutes).
7. At this point, add some ricotta(or skip, your choice!).
8. While the mixture is cooling, cook the pastry puffs(typically 20 minutes in 400F/205C oven).
9. Now put the filling inside the shells and serve.

These taste delicious when the pastry is warm but at room temperature they still do justice to their look! :)
