Sneha: A few weeks ago was Canadian Thanksgiving – which happens to coincide with Columbus Day here in the US. For the first time in I can’t even remember how long, my parents were in town visiting so it felt necessary to have something special for dinner. Amongst a spread of samosas, palak paneer, parathas and mango kulfi – we had these stuffed puff pastry as part of the appetizers and even my dad who is brutally honest in his feedback loved them!

Store-bought crescent rolls makes this appetizer a breeze to put together for your next party or even for upcoming holidays! The mixture can be made and refrigerated in advance so when you’re ready to assemble, fill cheese and mixture in the crescent rolls, bake and done! 

Tips & Tricks

• Kitchen King Masala is a spice blend you can find in most Indian stores, our go to brand is either MDH spices or Everest
• You can get creative with the filling, we’ve seen fall themed version with sweet potato instead of regular potatoes; you can also try some sort of pumpkin or squash!
