Puris are small, round, deep-fried Indian flatbreads made from unleavened dough, typically using whole-wheat flour, salt, and water. A staple in Indian cuisine, they are light, crispy, and often enjoyed with curries, chutneys, or as part of festive meals like puri-bhaji or pani puri. Puris are rich in carbohydrates due to the flour base and provide quick energy, but their deep-fried preparation means they are higher in calories and fats, which may be a concern if consumed frequently or in large quantities. They contain fiber from whole-wheat flour, supporting digestion, but lack substantial protein or micronutrients. When enjoyed in moderation and paired with nutrient-rich accompaniments such as lentils or vegetables, puris can be part of a balanced meal. For a healthier version, baking or air-frying alternatives may be explored. Originating from India, puris hold cultural significance in various traditional celebrations and meals.
