Potato is a versatile vegetable that can be had alone or mixed with any other vegetable gives it another taste all together.
Puffed fried breads or Puri / Poori is an Indian bread version where atta (wheat flour) is used to make the bread which is then fried in hot oil, to perfection.
Today I bring a combined dish, rather a meal from the marwari cuisine. It's easy to cook and very tasty to eat. Let us see the recipe on how to make it. Let's Begin.........
Ingredients & Steps:
Let us prepare the Puri / Poori:
Take a mixing bowl.
- Add 1 cup atta (wheat flour)
- Add 2 tbsp sooji (semolina)
- Add 1 pinch salt
- Add 1 tbsp oil
First mix them properly, then
- Add water (slowly, little by little, as required)
Knead to form a firm dough, not too hard neither too soft.
- Add 1 tsp oil to the dough
Spread all over and knead once more.
Cover the bowl in which the dough is made, with a lid and let it rest for 15 - 20 minutes.
Then, make small or medium size balls, flatten the balls with help of rolling pin to form discs.
Fry them in hot oil, under medium flame.
Take out the puri / poori once they puff up and turns slightly golden from both sides.
