PURI

Ingredients:

2 cups Indian whole wheat flour

1/2 Tablespoon vegetable oil

salt to taste

Method:

Mix all the above ingredients nicely in a bowl.

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.

Divide into small balls and roll out into 4" rounds on an oiled board.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or saucepan.

Fry the puri one at a time, holding them under the oil on the first side until they puff. Turn and fry till light brown; drain.

Serve as soon as possible with channa curry or any vegetable curry.
