Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 2 medium Boiled Potatoes
- 0.5 teaspoons Red Chili Powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander Powder
- 1 teaspoon Cumin Seeds
- 0.5 teaspoons Turmeric Powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cups Warm Water
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable Oil
- 2 cups Oil for Frying
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Coriander Leaves
Instructions
Begin by boiling the medium potatoes until tender. Peel and mash them, and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, and salt.
Add the mashed potatoes and mix well to combine with the dry ingredients.
Gradually add warm water to the mixture, kneading continuously, until you have a smooth and firm dough.
Incorporate the vegetable oil into the dough and knead for another 5 minutes to achieve elasticity.
Divide the dough into small lemon-sized portions, dust with a little gluten-free flour, and roll each portion into a small disc about 4 inches in diameter.
Heat the oil for frying in a deep pan over medium heat until it reaches about 350°F (175°C).
Gently slide the rolled puris into the hot oil, frying them until they puff up and are golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per puri.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the puris from the oil and drain them on paper towels.
Garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve hot with your choice of curry or chutney.
