All Purpose Puris


















Ingredients
Quantity

Wheat flour
3 cups
Ghee
1 tbsp
Curds
1 tbsp
Salt
to taste
Warm water for kneading

Ghee to deep fry


Sieve salt and flour together. Add ghee and curds and mix well. Add warm water little by little to knead dough. Make a soft pliable dough. Keep covered with a moist cloth for 10 minutes. Make small apricot sized balls. Roll into thick puries (4"diam. or as desired) some at a time.

Deep fry in hot ghee. Allow to puff up, flip and fry other side till light golden. Drain and serve hot and puffed. As name suggests, serve with any accompaniment. Curds or curries or mango pulp(aam ras) or pickles or vegetables. To pack for travelling, cool, pile, lightly compress with hand and pack in foil. Accompany with pickles.

Makes:  30-35 puries Shelf-life: 2-3 days

Variations:          Sprinkle a few seeds of sesame, ajwain or cumin over puries and press very lightly before puffing. This will give a festive look to the puries. To make mildly spiced puries, add 1/2 tsp. pepper powder to dough while sieving.
