Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Oil (for dough)
- 0.75 cup Water
- 2 cups Oil (for frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil and mix it into the flour using your fingertips until the mixture is slightly crumbly.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a firm, smooth dough. This should take about 8-10 minutes of kneading.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
After resting, divide the dough into 12-15 equal-sized portions. Roll each portion into small, smooth balls.
Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour. Roll each dough ball into a round disc, about 4-5 inches in diameter. Ensure the puris are evenly rolled to prevent uneven puffing.
Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadhai over medium-high heat. Test the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it; if it sizzles and rises to the surface immediately, the oil is ready.
Carefully slide one puri into the hot oil. Gently press it with a slotted spoon to help it puff up. Fry for about 20-30 seconds on one side, then flip and fry the other side until golden brown.
Remove the puri using a slotted spoon and transfer it to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining puris.
Serve hot with your favorite curry, chutney, or side dish. Enjoy!
