Cheesy Chickpeas Puff - #MonsoonMojo

We usually make puffs with different fillings, i have already tried from sweet to savoury version with various interesting fillings. But this time, i couldnt resist to give a try with an another interesting filling which i simply prepared with a spicy chickpeas masala. Puff with chickpeas masala sounds bit different na, but trust me they came out extremely delicious and you cant just stop with one puff. Once again the filling i went for this puff is seriously an easy one. No chopping, no sauting for hours, just some mashed chickpeas with simple spices is quite enough to finish the chickpeas filling. Since i had some grated cheese in my fridge, i topped the chickpeas masala with those grated cheese while filling the puffs. Those melted cheese gives an excellent texture to this already very flaky puff.Sending to Kalyani's Monsoon Mojo Event..
