• Rice flour - 50 grams
• Black salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Cumin powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Water - as needed for dough
• Oil - for frying
• Chura (flattened rice) - 50 grams
• Boiled potato - 1 medium, mashed

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine semolina, rice flour, black salt, and cumin powder. Gradually add water to form a smooth, firm dough.
2. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle (about 2-3 inches in diameter).
4. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Fry the rolled puris until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
5. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed boiled potato, chopped onion, green chili, coriander leaves, and a pinch of salt.
