Puri -fried puffed whole wheat flat breads

Puri- A puffed indian bread deep fried .It is made from wheat flour,can be made plain or with masala for that spicy taste. An ideal accompaniment to all sabjis. especially potato.

Ingredients:

2 cups Indian whole wheat flour
1/2 tablespoon sunflower oil
Water to make dough
Sunflower oil for frying

Method:

1.Mix together in a bowl the flour and oil.
2. Slowly add about 3/4 cup warm water, just enough to form a firm dough, and knead till smooth.
3.Cover, let rest at least 1/2 hour, and knead again briefly.
4.Divide into small balls about 1/2 inch size balls, and roll out into 3" rounds on an oiled board.
5.Heat vegetable oil in a wok or saucepan.
6.Fry the puri one at a time, holding them under the oil on the first side until they puff. Turn and fry till light brown; drain.
7.Serve as soon as possible; these breads are not as good later.
Puri are traditionally served with any curry.

For spicy puris:

When making the dough, add to the dry ingredients:
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon chilli powder
1 teaspoon salt
Follow method same as above.

  6. It should show the bookmarks after each post, i have seen your template you haven't tried these codes ?? If you want to show your bookmarks just like mine search for:

    >div class='post-body entry-content'<

    and paste the codes right after it.

    (dont worry about messing your template, preview it first and then save it, dont save it if you didnt like or you get an error ur setting remains unchanged)
