Puri / Poori

INGREDIENTS:

1. Wheat flour - 2 cups
2. Salt - 1/2 tbsp
3. Sugar - 1/2 tbsp
4. Oil - 1 tbsp
5. Water - 1/2 cup

PROCEDURE:

Take wheat flour, salt and sugar in a large wide bowl and mix well. Add 1/2 cup water to the flour slowly while mixing (Dough should not be too hard nor soft). Then add 1 tbsp oil to the dough and again knead it.

Keep a side covered for 30 min to 1 hr and knead it one more time and divide the dough into equal sized small balls and flatten them slightly.

Roll them into circles with the rolling pin dusting little rice flour (Do not dust too much flour to the puris as it will leave black residue in the oil while frying) . The rolled out puris should not be too thin nor too thick. The puris should be of medium thickness.

Spread all the rolled out puris on a paper and cover them with another news paper. (It prevents puris from getting dry).

Take oil in a deep frying pan and heat it, when it is hot enough (drop a small piece of dough into the hot oil, if it comes up immediately then your oil is at right temperature). Then drop the rolled puri from side of the pan into the hot oil. After few seconds, flip it to the other side and allow it to puff and take it out from the pan.

Place them on paper towel to drain excess oil from fried puris. Serve them hot with potato masala curry or besan curry.
