De bereidingswijze

Stap voor stap

1. 1

   Combine the whole wheat flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.

   Ongeveer 1 min

2. 2

   Gradually add the warm water and the dough oil to the flour mixture, mixing until a stiff dough forms.

   Ongeveer 3 min

   Tip van de kok: Add water slowly, as the exact amount can vary based on flour type and humidity.

3. 3

   Knead the dough on a clean surface for 5-7 minutes until it is smooth and elastic.

   Ongeveer 7 min

   Tip van de kok: The more you knead, the softer your puris will be.

4. 4

   Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes at room temperature.

   Ongeveer 30 min

5. 5

   Divide the dough into 16-18 equal small balls.

   Ongeveer 2 min

   Tip van de kok: Aim for uniform size for even cooking.

6. 6

   Heat the frying oil in a deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat until it reaches about 175-180°C (350-360°F).

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: A small piece of dough dropped in should sizzle and rise immediately.

7. 7

   While the oil heats, lightly grease your rolling surface and rolling pin, and roll out each dough ball into a thin, 4-5 inch diameter circle.

   Ongeveer 5 min

   Tip van de kok: Do not use dry flour for dusting as it can burn in the oil.

8. 8

   Carefully slide one rolled puri into the hot oil.

9. 9

   Gently press down on the center of the puri with a slotted spoon to help it puff up.

10. 10

    Once it puffs, flip it over and fry for another 15-30 seconds until golden brown on both sides.

    Ongeveer 1 min

    Tip van de kok: Do not overcrowd the pan; fry one or two at a time.

11. 11

    Remove the puri with the slotted spoon and drain excess oil on paper towels.

12. 12

    Repeat with the remaining dough balls, adjusting heat as needed to maintain oil temperature.
