Ingredients

• 2 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 cups Vegetable oil
• 4 medium Potatoes
• 0.5 teaspoon Mustard seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 large Onion
• 2 small Green chilies
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili powder
• 1 medium Tomato
• 2 tablespoons Coriander leaves
• 1 tablespoon Ginger

Directions

Step 1

Peel and cube the potatoes. Boil them in water until tender, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

To make the puri dough, mix the whole wheat flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a bowl. Gradually add the water and knead into a soft dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and cumin seeds. Once they begin to splutter, add finely chopped onions and sauté until golden brown.

Step 4

Add green chilies, ginger, and cook for another minute, then add turmeric, coriander powder, and red chili powder, stirring well.

Step 5

Add chopped tomatoes and cook until they soften. Add the boiled potatoes, mix well, and cook for another 5 minutes. Season with salt and garnish with chopped coriander leaves. The potato curry is ready.

Step 6

Divide the dough into small balls. Roll each ball into a circle, about 4-5 inches in diameter, on a lightly floured surface.

Step 7

Heat the remaining vegetable oil in a deep frying pan or wok. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide a puri into the oil. Gently press with a spatula to help it puff up. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain on paper towels. Repeat with the remaining dough balls.

Step 8

Serve the hot puris with the spicy potato curry and enjoy your vegan alu puri dish!
