Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 0.75 cup Water
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt substitute
- 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of whole wheat flour and 0.5 teaspoons of a salt substitute.
Step 2
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the flour mixture and mix well until it resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
Gradually add 0.75 cups of water to the flour mixture, kneading it into a smooth and pliable dough. The dough should not be sticky. Adjust water as necessary to achieve this consistency.
Step 4
Once the dough is ready, cover it with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 10 minutes.
Step 5
Divide the dough into equal portions, approximately 12-16 small balls.
Step 6
Lightly dust a rolling surface with whole wheat flour. Flatten each ball and roll it out into a circle of about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. Keep in mind that puris need to be slightly thicker than chapatis.
Step 7
Heat 2 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
Step 8
To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; if it sizzles and rises immediately, the oil is ready.
Step 9
Carefully slide the rolled puris into the hot oil. They should puff up immediately. Fry the puri until golden brown on both sides, using a slotted spoon to gently press the puri down for even puffing.
Step 10
Remove the fried puri and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 11
Serve the low sodium puris warm with your favorite curries or as a standalone snack.
