INGREDIENTS
250 gm plain flour
250 gms whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt
Enough oil to fry in

PREPARATION
Mix together all the flour and salt with 1 tablespoon oil and enough water, added slowly to make a firm dough.

Knead it well for 10 minutes or till soft. Cover and set aside for 15 minutes. Then knead it thoroughly and set aside again for at least half and hour.

Divide the dough into 1 inch balls. Grease your hands lightly and then flatten the balls between them. Roll out into thin 4 inch circles. Another option is to roll them out into large circles and cut perfect small circles with a glass or small bowl edge. Do a few at a time and keep them covered with a moist cloth as you take a break to fry.

Heat oil in a pan. When smoking lightly slide the puries into the oil carefully. As they float to the surface, turn it over gently. Press against the side of the pan to make them swell slightly.

Fry till golden brown. If the oil is too cold, puris will not fluff up. If the oil is too hot the puris will turn dark brown and burn. Take them out onto a newspaper to drain.

Serve hot.
