How to make Puris for Chaat
Puri is the essential ingredient for many of the chaat food and preparing it at home is an easy & hygienic sort. Puri is made by blending rava / sooji with maida to a dough, flat rolled and fried. Puri Recipe presented in this post with step by step pictures.
Servings20 puris
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup rava / semolina/ sooji
- 1 tablespoon maida/ all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon oil
- warm water as needed
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Add rava, maida in a wide bowl, add water little by little, knead it for 10mins to form a smooth dough.
- Add oil finally and knead it for a minute. The dough should be smooth so be careful while adding water. Keep aside for at least 15mins.
- Roll the dough very very thin and cut small rounds with a lid or container rim.
- Heat oil, carefully add the rolled puris , fluff it up (as we do for normal puris) and fry them to golden brown till crisp.
- Drain in tissue paper and then store in airtight container.
- You can store the puris for about 10 days.
Notes
- Make sure to knead the dough well and roll it very thin. The puris will become chewy and will not raise up if the rolled puris are thick.
- Rolling was a bit tough but somehow I tried to roll thin and the puris were nice cripsy like the store bought ones.
- Make sure the oil is heated up. Fry till golden brown until crispy.
- Adding soda makes the kneading and rolling easier….But if you don't have, then proceed with warm water itself. I didn't use it this time.
