Puris [Puffed Flat Bread]


Ingredients

Whole flour - 1cup
Water - 1/2 cup [depends]
Oil to deep fry [the pan should have at least 2 inches of oil]

Method
  1. Gradually add water to the whole wheat flour and mix it nicely with hands to form a firm dough
  2. Cover the dough with moist cloth or just a lid and let it sit for 30 min
  3. Divide the dough into small balls of equal size
  4. Sprinkle some flour on the rolling pan and roll the small dough balls into circles
  5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan. Check the temperature of oil by dropping a small piece of dough. If the dough floats, then oil is ready for deep frying.
  6. Very carefully place the rolled circles [puri] in the hot oil.
  7. Gently press the puris with the skimmer, the puris will pop
  8. Turn the popped puri to cook the other half
  9. Take out the puri from the oil when it appears slight brownish on both sides
  10. Drain excess oil on a paper towel
  11. Serve it with allo ki sabzi or curd or pickle or anything you want !
Note:
  • Make sure oil is quite hot before you place the puri for frying, otherwise the Puri will not pop!
