Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 medium Boiled potatoes
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
- 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
- 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
- 1 tablespoon Oil for kneading
- as needed Water
- as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Begin by boiling the potatoes until tender. Drain and allow them to cool. Once cooled, peel and mash the potatoes smoothly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, mashed potatoes, salt, turmeric, carom seeds, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin seeds.
Add finely chopped cilantro to the mixture for an aromatic flavor profile.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the mixture for added moisture, then gradually add water as necessary to form a firm, non-sticky dough. Knead the dough well for about 5-7 minutes.
Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into flat discs, approximately 5-6 inches in diameter.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Place one rolled puri onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Repeat the process for all the dough balls, applying cooking spray as needed to prevent sticking.
Serve the low fat alu puris hot with your choice of chutney or yogurt.
