Puri's Simple and Easy To Make :)

Puri's  are delicious !!! If you don't know what a puri is , let me tell you, it's a delicious Indian bread to be eaten with a curry , or accompanied with an Indian Dal or a potato dish . It's normally eaten in the mornings in India , but I have learned to cook it and the kids and myself have it for dinner . It's something we love  , and it fills us up so NO snacking two hours later . I enjoy cooking it , and the kids love eating it . The youngest adores it with scrambled eggs !!
It's fairly easy to make , and so cheap , but mouth watering and so yummy . You could easily serve it up as a starter with a nice chicken salad  , it's how I love it !

This is the recipe , not too many ingredients :)

Whole wheat flour 500 gms
Salt ( to taste )
Oil

Sieve the wheat flour with salt . Add water and about two teaspoons of oil and mix it into the flour to make a dough . Use your hands to work the dough .
Don't make the dough too soft  like for a chappati but it should be a little stiff and tight .
Divide the dough into small balls , apply oil to the dough balls , the idea is when you are frying the oil stays clean and no burnt  particles of flour through the oil .
Roll the dough evenly into a small circle , it should not be too thick .
Place the puris on a plate and cover with cling film so they don't dry out before it's ready to fry .
Heat the oil in a wok . The wok should  have about 3 cups of oil . When the oil is hot throw a little piece of dough to test it . The oil should sizzle and the dough ball should quickly raise to the top .
Now throw in your puris , one at a time . It should puff out soon , turn it over and fry till it's a golden brown . Take it out , don't forget to drain it on some kitchen paper , and it's ready to eat :)

Happy cooking and eating !! Have an awesome day and keep smiling :)

Love & Peace
