Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour and salt.
- Add 2 tbsp of oil and mix well.
- Gradually add water and knead to form a smooth and soft dough.
- Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20-30 minutes.
- After resting, divide the dough into small balls.
- Roll each ball into a small circle (about 4 inches in diameter) on a floured surface.
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
- Carefully slide the rolled puri into the hot oil. It should puff up immediately.
- Fry until golden brown on both sides, then remove and drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with your choice of curry or vegetables.
Tips
- Ensure the oil is hot enough for the puris to puff up.
- Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.
- You can add a pinch of baking soda to the dough for extra puffiness.
