2 c Sifted all-purpose flour
1 ts Salt
1/4 c Butter or margarine
Salad oil or shortening

pliable dough.

it is shiny and satiny. (Or put dough through medium blade or food
chopper about 10 times, or until it is shiny and satiny.)
3. Roll out dough about 1/8-inch thick. Cut into 3-inch rounds.
Meanwhile, in deep skillet or deep-fat fryer, slowly heat salad oil
(or at least 2 inches) to 360 F on deep-frying thermometer.

Title: Puri, Deep-Fried Wholemeal Bread
Categories: Side dish, Breads, Indian
Yield: 22 servings
3 c Fine wholemeal flour -=OR=-
3 c Roti flour
1 1/2 ts Salt
1 tb Ghee or oil (opt)
1 c Lukewarm water
Put flour in mixing bowl, reserving about 1/2 cup for rolling out the
puris. Mix salt through the flour in the bowl, then rub in ghee or oil
(if used). Add water all at once and mix to a firm but not stiff
dough. Knead dough for at least 10 minutes, (the more it is kneaded,
the lighter the bread will be). Form dough into a ball, cover with
clear plastic wrap and stand for 1 hour or longer. (If left overnight,
the puris will be very light and tender.
Shape the dough into balls about the size of a large walnut. Roll
out each one on a lightly floured board (using reserved flour) to a
circular shape as thin as a french crepe.
When all the dough is rolled out heat approximately 2.5 cm (I inch)
of oil in a deep frying pan. When a faint haze rises from the oil, fry
puris one at a time, over a moderate heat. Spoon hot oil continually
over the cooking puri until it puffs and swells. Turn over and fry
other side in the same way. When both sides are pale golden brown,
drain on absorbent paper. Serve immediately with curries and bhajis.
Note:Puri is pronounced 'poo-ree'.
