Puri


Puri is a favorite dish of my daughter and us, but we make it only once in two months or so as it requires deep frying.This makes it even more dearer for my daughter.
Ingredients:
2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup water (lukewarm) or as required
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon oil
Oil to deep fry
Method:
Mix flour and salt . Add water as needed to make firm dough.Add the oil and knead the dough . Dough for puri should be firm and smooth.
Set the dough aside and cover with a damp cloth. Let the dough rest for 15 minutes or longer.
Divide the dough in 12 equal parts, roll the dough into balls and press it between your palms.
Roll the dough into little puris or you can use a press pan you can use oil to prevent the dough from sticking while rolling.Heat the oil in a frying pan on high heat;Place the puri in the frying pan and press it with a skimmer, puri should puff right away.Turn puri over. Puri should be light golden brown on both sides. Take out the puri and place it on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
Serve puri hot with Potato masala or any other vegetable curry.
