Puri (Fried Indian Snack)

You'll see many Gujarati's having this scrumptious snack on a cold, rainy day - always accompanied by Chai! Some have it for breakfast, sometimes as a snack and I will even make it for my toddler now and then....it especially makes for a great item during travelling and on-the-go!

Serves: 2
Ingredients:
Whole Wheat Flour (Ghau No Lot)
Turmeric (Haldar)
Salt, to taste
Red Chili Powder (Laal Marchu)
Cumin Powder (Jeeru Powder)
Oil

Preparation:
1. Mix Whole Wheat Flour, a pinch of turmeric, salt, red chili powder and cumin powder together in bowl. Mix in approximately 1 teaspoon of oil.
2. Mix well - the more you "massage" the dough, the fluffier the Puri will turn out.
3. Turn on the gas at really low heat. You will know the temperature is right when you put a small pice of the dough in, and it rises to the top.
4. Roll the dough out the same way you would if making Rotli/Bhakri to the size you want them. They are typically bite size, so make them smaller than you would a rotli/Bhakri. Place them in the oil one at a time, fry and enjoy!

Be warned, they are fried so eat in moderation!!
