The following are the instructions on how to cook delicious Indian food: Puri
Ingredients:
a. cups Indian whole wheat flour
2. 1/2 Tablespoon vegetable oil
3. salt to taste
For spicy puris:
1. Turmeric
2. Hot pepper
3. Cumin/coriander powder
4. Hing
Method of Preparation:
and knead till smooth. Cover, let rest at least 1/2 hour, and knead again briefly. If resting more than 1 hour, punch and knead dough again before rolling out.
Divide into small balls about golf-ball size, and roll out into 6" rounds on an oiled board. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or saucepan. Add a little salt to the oil to keep it from smoking. Fry the puri one at a time, holding them under the oil on the first side until they puff. Turn and fry till light brown; drain.
Serve as soon as possible; these breads are not as good later.
Puri are traditionally served with any or all of the following: Chana, Black-eyed Pea Curry, Spinach Daal, Potato Curry, Brussels Sprouts, and anything with yogurt in it; Potato Curry is the best.
