Treat your ingredients with care...
- Puff pastry — Ensure that the puff pastry is thawed before using it. If it becomes too soft, refrigerate it for a few minutes to make it easier to handle.
- Spicy sausages — Choose sausages that have a good balance of spices and heat. Adjust the amount of spice mixture according to your preference for spiciness.
Tips & Tricks
- For an extra kick of heat, add a pinch of red chili powder to the spice mixture.
- Serve the Bengali-inspired spicy sausage rolls with a side of tangy tamarind chutney for a burst of flavor.
- If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of spices in the spice mixture.
- Experiment with different types of sausages to find your favorite flavor combination.
- Make sure to seal the edges of the puff pastry tightly to prevent any filling from leaking out during baking.
