About

An exciting and interesting snack recipe prepared with pizza toppings stuffed inside the purpose-based patties’ pockets. Pizza Puff, commonly known as McDonald’s Veg Pizza McPuff, was introduced by the fast food giant McDonald’s Indian chain. It is mainly served as a side snack with a burger or fast food meal. The guevy-meeting cheese with a spicy, juicy stuffing makes it an attractive snack for all age groups. It can be served as it is, but it tastes great with condiments like tomato sauce and green chutney. It has a standard process to prepare this deep-fried snack, with a generic multipurpose pizza stuffing. But Pizza Puff can be made healthier by air frying or baking it in the oven without oil frying. In addition, the stuffing can be made more exciting with additional veggies, meat or a combination of both. Further, the patties can be made at home, or you can use store-bought bought make things easier and quicker.
