Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour
- 2 tablespoons Semolina (optional, for added crispiness)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil (for dough)
- 0.75 cups Water
- 3 cups Vegetable oil (for deep frying)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, semolina (if using), and salt.
Step 2
Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil and mix well until the flour has a sandy texture.
Step 3
Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a smooth, firm dough. The dough should not be too soft or sticky.
Step 4
Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes to allow the gluten to develop.
Step 5
Once rested, divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls (about 1-inch in diameter).
Step 6
Roll each ball out on a lightly floured surface into a small circle, approximately 4 inches in diameter. Ensure the puris are evenly rolled for uniform puffing.
Step 7
Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. To check if the oil is hot enough, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; it should rise to the surface quickly and sizzle.
Step 8
Carefully slide one puri into the hot oil. Lightly press it with a slotted spoon to help it puff up. Flip it over when it turns golden on one side, and fry the other side until golden and crisp.
Step 9
Remove the puri with the slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel to remove excess oil.
Step 10
Repeat the frying process with the remaining puris, ensuring the oil maintains a consistent temperature.
Step 11
Serve the puris warm with your favorite curry, chutney, or as a sweet dish accompaniment.
