Ingredients

  • 2 cup wheat flour
  • ½ Tbsp oil
  • Salt to taste
  • 3/4 cup Water

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl mix flour, oil, and salt.
  • Pour ¾ cup water. Knead the mixture to prepare a stiff tight dough. Sprinkle more water if needed to make dough soft.
  • Smear with ½ Tbsp oil, knead a little more.
  • Put a lid on the bowl and let the dough sit for 20-25 minutes.
  • Divide the dough in small portions (balls) as per your liking.
  • Smoothen the balls by rolling them lightly in your hands. Press it between your palms to give it a rough shape.
  • Smear oil over flattened balls.
  • Drizzle the rolling area with some oil.
  • Roll the balls evenly from center to make a round puri.
  • To make nicely puffed puri make sure the puri is not too thick or thin.
  • Heat oil on a medium flame while continuing to make more puris.
  • Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small piece of dough in the pan.
  • If the dough rises immediately without browning then the oil is ready. If it doesn’t rise then let it heat for more time and if it browns then lower the flame and let oil’s temperature come down
  • Slide puri into the oil carefully.
  • Flip the puri carefully once it is puffed. Ler the other side fry as well until turned golden and crisp.
  • Remove the puri onto a plate.
