Main Ingredients for Puri
- 1.5 cup Wheat flour Aata
- 1/2 tsp Carom seed Ajwain
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Vegetable Oil for dough preparation
- Vegetable Oil to deep fry
How to make Puri Dough
To prepare dough take wheat flour in a bowl or broad utensil and add Salt, Carom seeds and 1 tsp Vegetable Oil in it.
1.5 cup Wheat flour, 1/2 tsp Carom seed, 1/2 tsp Salt, 1 tsp Vegetable Oil
Now knead it using 1/2 cup of water. Once done, leave the dough for 5 mins so it will become soft. While preparing dough you may want to experiment with quantity of water to get the
perfect dough. Please note that the dough should neither be too hard nor too soft.
Divide the dough into 12 equal sized balls.
You are now ready to make Puri.
How to make Puri
Take 2 cup vegetable oil in a deep utensil for frying Puri. To save sometime you can do this step while preparing dough so that oil is hot enough by the time dough is ready.
Vegetable Oil
Now take a dough ball, apply very little amount of oil on it and roll it well into small circular shapes (3 – 4 inches). Make sure you apply the pressure evenly while rolling.
Check if the oil is hot by taking a very small piece of dough and put it in the frying pan. If it makes instant fizzing sound and the dough piece immediately floats in oil then it means oil is ready for frying.
Once the oil is hot add rolled Puri and deep fry it. Let it cook for few seconds on one side then flip it over to the other side and repeat the process until Puri becomes golden brown in colour from both sides. While frying you need to keep pressing the Puri with a slotted spoon so that it starts bloating. Usually on a hot oil Puri will take less than a minute to get ready.
You need to repeat the process for all the dough balls and your Puri will be ready to serve.
Few considerations while preparing and serving Puri -
- While frying if the oil becomes too hot then reduce the flame to medium and when it starts to cool down then turn back the flame to high. You can find that the oil is too hot if the Puri starts becoming dark brown in colour too soon.
- Serve Puri with Jeera Aloo, Cucumber Raita, Suji Halwa, Aloo Tamatar Ki Sabji (Potato Tomato vegetable curry).
