Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Prepare the Semolina Mixture

   In a bowl, add 1 cup of semolina (sooji/rawa) and 1 cup of water. Mix well until combined and let it rest for 5 minutes.

2. 2.Prepare the Potato Mixture

   Mash 2 boiled potatoes thoroughly. Add the mashed potatoes to the semolina mixture.

3. 3.Add Spices and Flour

   To the mixture, add 1 teaspoon red chili powder, salt to taste, 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon dried fenugreek leaves (kasuri methi), 1/4 teaspoon carom seeds (ajwain), and a few sprigs of fresh coriander. Then, add 1 cup of wheat flour and 1 tablespoon of oil.

4. 4.Knead the Dough

   Mix and knead all ingredients well to form a soft dough. Add a little more oil and knead again until the dough is smooth.

5. 5.Form Dough Balls

   Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls and roll them smoothly between your palms.

6. 6.Roll the Puris

   Lightly oil a rolling surface. Take one dough ball, flatten it slightly, and roll it out into a thin, round puri using a rolling pin. Repeat for all dough balls.

7. 7.Deep Fry the Puris

   Heat oil for deep frying in a pan. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide a rolled puri into the oil. Gently press the puri with a slotted spoon to help it puff up. Fry until golden brown on both sides. Remove and drain excess oil. Repeat with the remaining puris.
