Ingredients
 

  • 2 cup or 250 grm Maida
  • ½ cup rava - semolina
  • ½ cup wheat flour
  • 8 tbsp or 70 grm melted ghee
  • 1 tsp coarsely crushed black pepper
  • 1 tbsp coarsely crushed cumin seeds
  • Salt to taste
  • ¾ cup water or as required
  • Oil for frying

For ghee and flour mixture.

  • 1 tbsp Rice flour
  • 2 tbsp Melted ghee

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups maida, ½ cup rava, ½ cup wheat flour, 1 tsp coarsely crushed black pepper, 1 tbsp coarsely crushed cumin seeds, and salt to taste. Mix well.
  • In a pan, heat 8 tbsp ghee until hot. Add the hot ghee to the flour mixture and mix well until the mixture binds together when pressed with your hand.
  • Gradually add ¾ cup water and knead into a tight dough. Cover and let the dough rest for 15 minutes.
  • Take a medium-sized portion of the dough and roll it into a thin roti. Prick the roti with a fork, then cut it into a round shape using a bowl or cutter.
  • In a separate bowl, mix 1 tbsp rice flour with 2 tbsp melted ghee. The mixture should have a thin, free-flowing consistency.
  • Take one round of roti, apply the flour-ghee paste evenly, and fold it. Apply a little more paste, fold again, and shape it into a triangle. Roll it gently and prepare all the puris in the same way. (refer video)
  • Heat oil over medium flame. Add the puris to the hot oil and fry them on low flame until golden and crisp on both sides.
  • Allow the puris to cool completely, then store them in an airtight container. They stay fresh for up to 1 month.

  • Wheat flour gives the puri a soft texture.
  • Roll the dough into thin rotis for the puris.
  • Applying flour-ghee sata helps create layers in the puri.
  • Fry the puris on low to medium flame.
