Yashodha's kitchen: SIMPLE & YUMMY SNACK - VEGETABLE PINWHEELS / WHEEL PUFF

Most of them like to have Vegetable puff, I too comes under that list. But I could not get my favorite puff in my surroundings. Four years ago, one fine day my husband told about pastry sheets. We immediately went to our regular grocery store for getting ready made pastry sheets. We bought it and tried this recipe very next day. It came out well. I was flying and no words to express my happiness. From that day, I always keep this pastry sheets handy.

It is a very simple and grand starter for parties. I kept this yummy snack as a starter in my home parties. I thought of sharing this recipe for the past one year but could not. But it is up today for Love2bake event. I would like to participate in the Love2bake event which falls on every monday. It is a weekly event which is started recently by our co-blogger Sangeetha from Spicy treats.

You could make these sheets into either or as your desired pinwheel shapes. It is totally upto your wish.
