Ingredients :
- Wheat flour-2 cups
- Vegetable oil/clarified butter-1 teaspoon (optional)
- Salt-to taste
Method:
- Take a vessel/basin and add the two cups of flour into it. Add salt and the clarified butter into the flour. Oil or clarified butter (ghee) is added to soften the dough.
- Then add about 3/4 cup of water slowly into the wheat flour, just enough to form a firm dough, and knead till smooth.
- Keep the dough covered and allow it to rest for at least half an hour. Knead again briefly before you divide the dough.
- Divide into small balls about golf-ball size, and roll out into 6″ rounds with a roller, on an oiled board.
- Heat vegetable oil in a wok or saucepan. Add a little salt to the oil to keep it from smoking.
- Fry the puri one at a time, holding them under the oil on the first side until they puff.
- Turn and fry till light brown; drain.
- Serve as soon as possible; this bread is best had when its hot and is not as good, later.
- Pooris are traditionally served with Potato curry.
