Hot Crispy Potato Puri
A nostalgic and comforting recipe that combines crunchy deep-fried puris filled with spiced mashed potatoes. Perfect for family meals or as a delightful snack.
Ingrédients
Dough Ingredients
- 2 cups whole wheat flour This gives a heartiness that all-purpose flour can't match.
- 2 tablespoons semolina (rava) Adds delightful crunch and helps puris puff beautifully.
- 1 teaspoon salt Essential for flavor.
Filling Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potatoes Use well-seasoned leftovers or freshly made.
- 1 teaspoon cumin seeds Earthy aroma; can toast for stronger flavor.
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder Adjust based on your spice tolerance.
Frying Ingredients
- Oil for frying vegetable or sunflower oil Choose a neutral oil that won't compete with the flavors.
Instructions
Preparation
- In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, semolina, and salt. Mix thoroughly.
- Slowly add water, starting with half a cup, until you achieve a smooth dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes.
- Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
Filling Preparation
- In another bowl, mix mashed potatoes, cumin seeds, red chili powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
Assembling and Frying
- Divide the dough into golf ball-sized portions, flatten them, and add a spoonful of potato mixture in the center. Fold and pinch shut, then roll into a disc.
- Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Check oil temperature with a small piece of dough.
- Fry puris until golden and crispy, about 1-2 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
- Serve hot with chutney or yogurt.
Notes
For best results, ensure the oil is hot enough before frying. If puris are not puffing, the dough may be too thick. Leftover dough can be refrigerated tightly.
