I tried making puris when I made pani puri which was a different recipe. Last weekend when I planned to make chats so made this puri a day before and enjoyed dahi puri with my family :)
Poori for Chaats Recipe - Ingredients
Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 20 mins | Makes : 20 pooris
Recipe Category: Chaats | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Recipe Category: Chaats | Recipe Cuisine: Indian
Rawa(semolina/sooji)-1/2 cup
Maida(all purpose flour - 1 tbsp
Oil - 1 tsp
Warm water- as needed
Salt - to taste
Method:
- 1.Add rava, maida in a wide bowl, add water little by little, knead it for 10mins to form a smooth dough. Add oil finally and knead it for a minute. The dough should be smooth so be careful while adding water.Keep aside for atleast 15mins.
- Roll the dough very very thin and cut small rounds with a lid or container rim.Heat oil, carefully add the rolled puris , fluff it up(as we do for normal puris) and fry them to golden brown till crisp. Drain in tissue paper and then store in airtight container
My Notes:
- Make sure to knead the dough well and roll it very thin. The puris will become chewy and will not raise up if the rolled puris are thick.
- Rolling was a bit tough but somehow I tried to roll thin and the puris were nice cripsy like the store bought ones.
- Make sure the oil is heated up. Fry till golden brown until crispy.
- Adding soda makes the kneading and rolling easier....But if you dont have, then proceed with warm water itself. I didnt use it this time.
