Directions

  • Take 2 cups of wheat flour, add all dry ingredients and very little salt to taste,
  • Make the dough like that of paranthas, it should not be too hard or soft.
  • Cover with a damp muslin cloth and keep aside for 10 minutes.
  • Take a small size dough and make a ball, apply some oil and roll out into a 4 inch diameter poori.
  • Heat oil in a kadhai, when the oil is properly heated add the puri and half fry it, take the poori out and keep it aside.
