Puri

Ingredients

• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •1/2 teaspoon salt
• •1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• •1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• •3/4 cup warm water
• •2 cups vegetable oil for frying

Directions

1. 1Mix flour, salt, and baking powder in a bowl.
2. 2Add 1 tablespoon oil and gradually add warm water, kneading until you form a soft dough.
3. 3Cover the dough and let it rest for 15 minutes.
4. 4Divide dough into 12 equal balls and roll each into a thin circle about 4 inches in diameter.
5. 5Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
6. 6Carefully slide one puri into the hot oil; it will sink then float and puff up in 10-15 seconds.
7. 7Flip and cook the other side for another 5 seconds until golden brown.
8. 8Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Serve hot.

💡 Puri dough should be firmer than naan dough; a soft dough absorbs more frying oil and is less likely to puff evenly.
