Puri



Dough

Puri

Ingredients:

• 1 cup wheat flour
• 1/2 cup of water
• 1/4 tsp of salt
• 3 cups oil for frying

  

  Rolled

  

Method 

Mix wheat flour, salt and water in a bowl. Knead well to form a lump. Cover with damp cloth and set aside till you are ready to roll the dough. Sprinkle flour on a flat surface and roll the dough between your palms on the flat surface to form a 1" tubular shaped dough about 8 to 10" long. Using a butter knife cut this into 1/2" discs. Make about 8 to 10 pieces or less. Press each disc into some dry wheat flour and roll/flatten between your palms to make a flat ball. Using a rolling pin, flatten each piece out into 3" to 4" circular discs about 1/8" thick. Roll all the dough similarly and set aside.

In a separate pan or a wok heat the oil well on medium heat. Place each piece of the rolled dough into the hot oil carefully to make puris. Using a slotted long spoon press on the puri slightly to make it swell. Turn and fry further till the puri is golden brown . Each puri should take about 2 to 3 minutes to be well done.

Fried

 Place alll fried puris in a paper towel lined bowl or tray to drain any excess oil sticking to the puris.

Cooking tips:

You can use whole maidha/all purpose flour instead of wheat flour. Adding 1/4 tsp of sugar will make the puris crispier.

Serving tips:

Serve hot puris with channa or matter panneer or any other kind of vegetable.
