Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Semolina (optional, for added crispiness)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil (for dough)
- 0.75 cups Water
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, semolina (if using), and salt.
Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and mix well until the flour has a sandy texture.
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a smooth, firm dough. The dough should not be too soft or sticky.
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to develop.
Once rested, divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
Roll each ball out on a lightly floured surface into a small circle, approximately 4 inches in diameter. Ensure the puris are evenly rolled for uniform puffing.
Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; it should rise to the surface quickly and sizzle.
Carefully slide one puri into the hot oil. Lightly press it with a slotted spoon to help it puff up. Flip it over when it turns golden on one side, and fry the other side until golden and crisp.
Remove the puri with the slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining puris, ensuring the oil maintains a consistent temperature.
Serve the puris warm with your favorite curry, chutney, or as a sweet dish accompaniment.
