To make this recipe, you need to layer the schezwan paneer filling in between two sheets of puff pastry. Cut the pastry into 2 cm strips, twist, then roll into circular swirls or pinwheels. Brush with oil then either bake or air fryer until crispy and golden brown. For more fusion puff pastry recipes, you’ll love this Tandoori Paneer Tart au Soleil and Puff Pastry Punjabi Samosas.
Ingredients notes
Puff pastry – I use store bought for ease. You need to halve your pastry and layer one on top of another, so you may want to get extra. Filling: Paneer – you can crumble store bought paneer or quickly make your own at home. See my homemade paneer recipe for directions. Red onion, red pepper and green pepper – you want to finely chop these veggies as small as they can go. Schezwan sauce – again, use store bought or make your own homemade schezwan sauce. Salt to taste. Parsley or coriander – optional as a garnish.
Puff Pastry Swirls Variations
Vegan – use drained, crumbled tofu. I use tofu for this recipe even more than paneer! It works brilliantly using firm tofu that has been well drained. Gluten-free – make it gluten-free by using store-bought gluten-free puff pastry. Flavours – instead of schezwan sauce, you can use any sauce that takes your fancy. Tandoori sauce works well, or you may want to use a spice blend such as curry powder or dabeli masala.
