This is my first post on this blog about deep-frying. Puris are delicious puffed up flatbreads, which are made by rolling a ball of dough and frying it on high heat so that it puffs up. As an occasional treat, this bread is lovely. Usually, Indians have it for breakfast or during festivals. I make puris for my kids for their after school snack or school bento. Puris with alu (potato vegetable) or chana (chickpea curry) is a yum breakfast/brunch combo.
This recipe is about puri made with added vegetables and spices, which can be had just by itself or with some pickles. I have served my puris with my friend Aruna Mani's pickle which she gifted me :) Recipe for the Mango thokku pickle is on her blog here.
A well made puri, should puff up and have a deep pocket, something like this....:)
