Check out this traditional recipe and give it a try.
 For 8 Bedmi Puris |
| start by soaking 1/2 cup urad daal for 6 hours spices used red chili powder 1/2 tsp grated ginger 1/2 tsp fennel seeds 1/2 tsp green chili 1 chopped fine hing(asafotida) less than 1/2 tsp cumin seeds 1 tsp salt to taste for the dough 1 cup wheat flour 1/2 tsp semolina 1 tsp ghee 1 tsp salt water to bind make a stiff dough and cover.Allow to rest 10 min. |
To cook start by cooking all the spices in a little ghee and add the ground urad daal paste.
Cook on a low heat till the urad daal gets coated with the spice mix.
Scrape out the bottom of the pan as you saute.
Allow this to cook on low for 5/7 min and your done.Make tiny balls and let it cool.
When the daal mix is cooling,make the dough.
 |
| After the daal mix has cooled stuff the urad daal mix into the dough ball and roll out Fry till puffed up and light brown. |
1.Make sure the dough is not too soft.
2.Do not roll it into a thin circle,keep it a bit thick
3.Never dust flour while rolling a puri,dip in oil and roll
4.While frying puris flip once once,after cooking once side,flip one time then cook the other side.
Turning puris/pooris more than once will soak up all the oil and the dish is a fail.So one flip is all you need.
If you keep these tips in mind you will never have soggy puris that are soaked in oil.
Serve this for Krishna Janmashtami (Lord Krishna's Birth day).
