Puris

BISMILLAH HIR RAHMAN NIR RAHEEM


Ingredients:

3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
3 tbsp oil or melted ghee
1 1/2 cup water
about 3 cups vegetable oil for frying


Method:

- Combine flour and salt. Add oil or ghee, rubbing it in with the fingers.
- Add one and half cup of water and continue mixing until you have a smooth dough. Add more water if needed to achieve a silky consistency.
- Lightly oil a work surface and knead the dough for 15 mins. Divide the dough into 24 equal parts.
- Roll each one into a ball and flatten it between your palms. Put a little more oil onto work surface and roll each piece into an even 4" circle. Cover these circles with a slightly damp dish towel to keep them from drying out. 
- Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Slip a puri into the oil, it should puff right up and float to the top.
- Using a slotted spoon or spatula, flip the puri gently; continue to cook and flip until both sides are golden brown. Drain the oil and serve hot.
