Ok here is the confession, I don’t enjoy cooking savory treats until they are quiches or pies. Period. I love arranging hi-tea but it is cumbersome to arrange a traditional dinner cooking all those family favorites with array of spices,fried onions and slow cooking. Pakistani food is addictively delicious and my hubby doesn’t consider dinner a dinner unless its traditional curries with rice or flat bread. Quiches, pies, hummus dip, burgers, sandwiches are acceptable only at lunch or as appetizers. Ditto with our daughter.  So I try to make the most of lunches, trying out new recipes or just making pot pie again and again. You might agree that when you make same dish very frequently, there remains no charm. This time I decided to give some twist and instead of adding raw vegetables, I stir-fried them in garlic and some sauces. It is also a good dish to sneak literally any vegetable. Moreover, instead of rolling out puff-pastry sheet, I used the one already rolled and frozen sheet. This helped in puffing up the pastry instead of giving it dense layers. Which reminds me of trying out home-made puff pastry, I am yet to break that fear.  So stay tuned because thats coming soon. For now enjoy pot pie.

A quick note for readers back home in Pakistan. Puff pastry is now available at major super markets from leading bakeries and you can also talk to your bakery man for getting raw puff pastry dough. He will be happy to keep aside for you, just make sure you talk in advance.
Ingredients:

For top:
Puff Pastry dough or rolled out sheet according to your pie dish, it should be 1/4th inch thick
Egg beaten 1
Sesame seeds, black pepper grounded and salt, parmesan cheese for sprinkling 
For filling:
Carrot 1 medium cubed
Capsicum 1 medium cubed
Onion 1 medium cubed
Potato 1 medium cubed
Green Beans 1/2 cup
Peas 1/4 cup
Mushrooms sliced 1/4 cup
Corns or baby corns 1/4 cup
Garlic cloves 2
Oil 2 tbsp
Soya sauce 1 tbsp
Woschestershire sauce 1 tbsp
Red chilli flakes 1 pinch
Black pepper 1/2 tsp
Salt 1/2 tsp
For sauce:
Butter 4 tbsp
Flour 4 tbsp
Milk 11/2 cup
Salt 1 tsp
White pepper 1 tsp
Oregano crushed or powder 1/4 tsp
Method:
1. Prepare filling.
2. Heat oil, add crushed garlic, onion, saute for two minutes.
3. Add rest of vegetables and seasonings.
4. Stir fry for 5 minutes. 
5. Spread in a deep pie dish.
6. Prepare white sauce.
7. Heat butter, add flour. 
8. Add milk constantly stirring with a whisk without making lumps. Strain or blend if there    are any lumps. the sauce should be think yet pour like consistency.
9. Add seasonings. 
10. Pour on vegetable mixture.
11. Put puff pastry on top.
12. Mark slits with knife to allow steam escape.
13. Brush with egg and sprinkle all seasonings on top.
14. Bake in a pre-heated oven for about 30 minutes until pastry is puffed up and golden in color.

I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I I first had chocolate truffles in USA which were I guess from Tiffany.

Since then I was always intrigued by how they were made.

The delish chocolate bites are easier to make than other varieties like bonbons.

A luscious chocolate ganache is prepared which is then divided into bite size pieces either by piping or scooping, dipped in tempered chocolate and rolled in cocoa powder.

Do you like truffles and have you ever tried making at home?

The brand I use the most is beryl's chocolate.(sw The brand I use the most is  beryl's chocolate.(swipe to see the packaging)

It's a Malaysian brand and I find it pretty easily here from @moltaqa.alkhabbazeen as well as in Pakistan from empress market karachi.(not sure about the current status,  will.update when I go in summers)

If you ask me one chocolate you should buy go for this brands 62% one either in coins or blocks. Coins are just easier to use. The 1.5 kg bag or 2 kg block is more than enough and has good price point. 

Therir 41% milk chocolate is great as well nut not recommended for baking. 

I use it for ganache, brownies, icecream, chocolate chip cookies, mousse and mousse cakes and in general great for dipping, coating etc.

I use milk chocolate 28% white one inky for white chocolate mousse or sometimes in cookies.

I use compound chocolate for chocolate decorations or making cake pops or cakesicles.
This also comes in block and small chocolate chips both are fine.

The other brands I have tried 
arabesque (belgium) 58%
@patissierchocolate (singapore) 61% ,41%

@callebautchocolate ( so popular, slightly overrated, difficult to get, available for bull orders)

dawn chocolate - good quality but i find it very sweet

All these brands are available in the above shops.
