Ingredients

  • 1 cup = 250 ml
  • 3/4 cup All purpose flour maida / White flour
  • 1/4 cup Wholewheat flour
  • 2 tsp Oil
  • 1 tbsp ghee/clarified butter
  • 1 tsp Red chili powder
  • To taste Salt
  • 1/2 tbsp Turmeric powder
  • 1/2 tsp coarsely ground black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon Ajwain Carom seeds
  • 1/2 tsp Roasted cumin seed powder
  • 1/8 cup Water more or less

Instructions

  • Take both the flours in a bowl.
  • Add all dry spices mentioned in the ingredients list.
  • Warm the ghee/clarified butter and oil and add into the flour.
  • Mix it and rub the flour between your palms properly till it resembles to bread crumbs.
  • Knead a tight dough using water slowly and gradually. We don't want a loose consistency dough.
  • Cover it and keep it aside for 20 – 25 minutes to rest. After resting time, knead the dough one more time to smooth it out.
  • After that divide the masala puri dough into equal parts by making  tiny balls. Flatten it by applying pressure between your palm.
  • Now dust the work top and roll the puris into approx 3 cm diameter and 2 mm width.
  • Or you can roll one big round chapati, and then cut the puris with small katori/cookie cutter.
  • The rolled puris should be of medium thickness (neither too thin nor too thick).
  • Poke them using knife.
  • Heat the oil in a deep kadai. Lower down the flame to medium, and slide puris one by one in the hot oil.
  • You can fry 7 to 8 pieces of puri at a time or less or more depending on the size of your kadai.
  • Wait till the puris float up and then gently turn them upside down. Lower the flame and fry until they achieve a light golden colour.
  • In between just keep flipping it throughout so that they are evenly cooked.
  • Remove the farsi puris onto a kitchen paper towel. Similarly, fry all the puris and once it's cooled, they can be stored in a airtight container.
  • Enjoy these crispy masala puris with hot tea or coffee in the evening or any time of the day.
  • These taste best with mango pickle, masala curd or even with Imli ki khatti meethi chutney.
