Frequently Asked Questions
While jaggery and coconut are the key ingredients that make up these puffs, you can also elevate the flavors by adding in a few more ingredients into the filling.
Chopped nuts, for instance, can be a great addition. They don’t just add a nice crunchiness, but also make the puffs more nutritive.
You can also add some ground green cardamom into the filling to give it that unique flavor. 
While the layers and the flakiness of the puff pastry is unmatched, you can use phyllo dough or pizza dough as an alternative if you don’t have it at hand. Crescent roll dough is another decent option you could consider. 
While desiccated coconut is easy to work with, you can also use fresh coconut if that’s what you have at hand. Just make sure it is shredded well, and you’re good to go! 
Your cooked leftover coconut jaggery puffs can be transferred to an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 2 days. 
You sure can! Just assemble the puffs and freeze them in a freezer safe container. Then, when you want to make them, just get them out, defrost and bake!
