Masala Puri

My husband simply loves a very classic Indian bread - "Puri" :) Even I do.. but more when I'm looking forward to serve a quick breakfast or meal... :P

Here are few different versions of the "Puri":

- A version without spices in it, is best to be served with Kheer or Halwa...

- Puri pricked with fork to make it flat, is used as a Chaat-Puri! 

- Quite crispy and tiny ball one, serves the best ever Street-Food "Panipuri"!

A round puffed up ball, that too a little chatpata... works great with any Indian Gravy!!! A classic combo that  any Gujju will love to have: "Poori-Bhaaji" (Puri with dry potato subzi) 

Makes: 15-16 puris

INGREDIENTS:

2 cup Wheat flour

3/4 cup water

1/2 tsp Salt

1/4 tsp Turmeric powder

1/4 tsp Red chilly powder

METHOD:

- Mix wheat flour and all the spices in a bowl.
- Add 1 tsp of oil into it and mix well.
- Knead a soft dough by adding water gradually in it. At the end,
- Divide the dough in portions of equal size.
- Roll each of them medium-thick to around 5-6 cm in diameter.
- Heat oil in deep-kadai and fry 2-3 puris at a time.
- In around 5 secs, it will puff up then turn it to make light crisp and golden-brown on both the sides.
- Serve with any gravy you love... :)
