Every bakery in India has some savour staple but puffs are common across length and breadth of India. There are lot of variation in the stuffing used. Puffs are made using dough which is called puff dough. This is basically rolled flour layered using butter. This is a very time consuming task. This dough is made with flour, water, oil and loads of butter. When baked this is very crisp and flaky. Pastry sheets have very high fat content.British introduced these rectangular baked, savour, crispy & yummy food In India. From then on this has been worked - reworked by Indians to suit their taste.
