Vegetable Puff / Paneer Puff / Egg Puff

Vegetable Puff , alternatively called as curry puff, takes me back to my college days memories, in Hyderabad. We used to go to bakeries during lunch break or after college and order a puff and a coke religiously.
We can make Vegetable puffs by stuffing mixed vegetables into the puff. Similary, if we stuff boiled eggs, we can make Egg Puffs or stuff paneer mixture to make Paneer Puffs.
