Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Chickpea flour (besan)
- 0.25 cup Soya flour
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- (as needed) Water
- 1 tablespoon Oil (for dough)
- 2 cups Oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, soya flour, salt, carom seeds, and cumin seeds.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the flour mixture and mix well until it resembles a coarse crumb.
Gradually add water to the mixture, a little at a time, and knead to form a smooth and pliable dough. The dough should not be too soft or too firm.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Divide the dough into small lime-sized balls. Roll each ball between your hands to smoothen.
Flatten each ball and roll it out with a rolling pin to form small discs, about 4 inches in diameter. Ensure the discs are even in thickness to puff properly.
Heat oil for deep frying in a deep pan over medium heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.
Gently slide one puri into the hot oil, pressing slightly with a slotted spoon to help it puff up. Fry until the puri becomes golden brown and puffs up completely, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side.
Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with curried vegetables or chutney.
