Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Whole wheat flour
- 1 cup Carrot puree
- 1 cup Spinach puree
- 1 cup Plain water
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Red chili powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Carom seeds (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Oil (for dough)
- 4 cups Oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
Divide the whole wheat flour into three equal portions in separate bowls.
To the first portion, add the carrot puree, 0.5 teaspoon salt, 2 teaspoons of oil, and red chili powder. Knead into a smooth orange-colored dough. Add water as needed. Cover and set aside.
To the second portion, add spinach puree, 0.5 teaspoon salt, and 2 teaspoons of oil. Knead into a smooth green-colored dough. Add water if necessary. Cover and set aside.
To the third portion, add 0.5 teaspoon salt, carom seeds (if using), and enough plain water to knead it into a smooth white dough. Cover and set aside.
Divide each dough into equal-sized small balls (about 12-15 from each color).
Roll each dough ball (orange, white, and green) into small puris (approximately 3-4 inches in diameter) with a rolling pin. Make sure to keep them equal-sized.
Heat oil for deep frying in a deep pan or wok over medium-high heat.
Once the oil is hot, fry the puris one at a time until they puff up and are golden. Flip once to ensure even cooking. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
Serve the Tiranga Puris warm with your favorite curry, pickle, or yogurt dip to celebrate Independence Day in style.
