Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 2 medium Boiled potatoes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground turmeric
• 0.5 teaspoon Carom seeds (ajwain)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro
• 1 tablespoon Oil for kneading
• 0 as needed Water
• 0 as needed Cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Begin by boiling the potatoes until tender. Drain and allow them to cool. Once cooled, peel and mash the potatoes smoothly.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, mashed potatoes, salt, turmeric, carom seeds, red chili powder, coriander powder, and cumin seeds.

Step 3

Add finely chopped cilantro to the mixture for an aromatic flavor profile.

Step 4

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the mixture for added moisture, then gradually add water as necessary to form a firm, non-sticky dough. Knead the dough well for about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into flat discs, approximately 5-6 inches in diameter.

Step 6

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

Step 7

Place one rolled puri onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown spots appear. Press gently with a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

Repeat the process for all the dough balls, applying cooking spray as needed to prevent sticking.

Step 9

Serve the low fat alu puris hot with your choice of chutney or yogurt.
