Ingredients
- 8¾ oz whole wheat flour (atta)
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp oil
- 10 Tbsp warm water
- 2½ cups vegetable oil, for frying
Method
- Mix the flour and salt, rub in the oil, then add the warm water and knead into a firm dough. Cover and rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide into 12 small balls and roll each into an even disc about 4 in across.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 375°F — the oil must be properly hot.
- Slide in one puri at a time and press it gently with a slotted spoon as it rises, until it inflates into a ball. Turn once and fry for about 30 seconds in total, until pale gold.
- Drain on kitchen paper and serve at once, while puffed.
