Puri / Unleavened Indian Wheat Bread / Poori RECIPE#198

 Step 1:- Combine 2 1/2 cups of atta /wheat flour  , salt and water ( ~  1 1/2 cup ) . Knead well until  you get a soft dough. And  Make small "balls" out of the dough , 

and apply oil on its  ( ball dough's  ) surface  , roll  ( DO NOT DUST with  FLOUR  while spreading ) it out  in to a small round shape  as in the picture .  And keep aside .

Heat a pan and add 2-3 cups of  vegetable oil and heat the  oil { FOR MAKING THE  PURI THE OIL SHOULD BE VERY HOT , 

TO TEST THIS  ( WHETHER THE OIL IS HOT  ENOUGH ) drop a small piece of dough into the oil if the dough sizzles and comes up to the surface immediately, the oil is   hot  enough ( ready ) to make the  puri } . 

Now drop the 'Spreaded " dough ( step 1) ,

when the dough comes to the surface,  pat its  surface  with a thava  as in the picture (  this helps the puri to puff up evenly ) ,

turn it to the other side , fry until the 'puri " gets golden  brown in color . 

Place it immediately on a paper towel ( to absorb the  extra oil from the puri  )  .

Step 2:-  Puri  / Unleavened  Indian  Wheat Bread / Poori is ready .....Enjoy with   your favorite curries / masalas  , http://jesacos5.blogspot.com/2015/07/potato-urulaikizhangu-thoran.html,  http://jesacos5.blogspot.com/2015/04/white-chickpeacurry-vella-kadala-curry.html, http://jesacos5.blogspot.com/2013/11/egg-molee-kottayam-style.html, http://jesacos5.blogspot.com/2014/09/chicken-stew.html, http://jesacos5.blogspot.com/2014/08/nadan-kozhi-curry-kottayam-style.html,...........JA-Mathew  :) -
