Puri is the essential ingredient for many of the chat dishes like pani puri, dahi puri, masala puri, sev puri etc. Puri is made by blending rava or sooji with maida to a dough, flat rolled and deep fried until crisp. Learn to make Puri for chat with step by step pictures.
Add rava, maida to a wide bowl, add water little by little, knead it for 10 minutes 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 15 minutes.
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. Here are the chats which uses these mini puris.
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 crisp 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.
