Crispy Golden Puri

Light and airy deep-fried Indian bread made from wheat flour, perfect for scooping up curries or chutneys. Quick to prepare and irresistibly puffed.

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, semolina, salt, and baking powder.
2. Add 2 tbsp oil and mix well until the mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
3. Gradually add warm water and knead into a smooth, stiff dough.
4. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
5. Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
6. Roll each ball into a 4-inch diameter circle, not too thin.
7. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
8. Once hot, gently slide a puri into the oil; it should puff up immediately.
9. Press gently with a slotted spoon to encourage puffing.
10. Fry until golden brown on both sides, then drain on paper towels.
11. Serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
