Puri Recipe
Fried, Puffed Whole Wheat Flat Breads
- Mix together in a bowl:
- 2 cups Indian whole wheat flour
- 1/2 Tablespoon vegetable oil

- 1/2 Tablespoon vegetable oil
- Slowly add about 3/4 cup warm water, just enough to form a firm dough, and knead till smooth. Cover, let rest at least 1/2 hour, and knead again briefly. If resting more than 1 hour, punch and knead dough again before rolling out.
