Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 1 cup
• Water - 1/4 cup (adjust as needed)
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Oil (for frying) - 2 cups
• Potato - 1 medium, boiled and cubed
• Carrot - 1 medium, diced
• Green peas - 1/2 cup
• Onion - 1 small, finely chopped
• Tomato - 1 small, chopped
• Ginger - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Green chili - 1, finely chopped
• Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cumin seeds - 1/2 teaspoon
• Coriander powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Garam masala - 1/4 teaspoon
• Cilantro - 2 tablespoons, chopped (for garnish)

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and water to form a soft dough. Cover and let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat for frying the puris.
3. Divide the rested dough into small balls (about the size of a golf ball).
4. Roll each ball into a small disc (approximately 4 inches in diameter) using a rolling pin.
5. Once the oil is hot, gently slide the rolled puris into the oil, frying until they puff up and turn golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels.
6. For the sabzi, heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan over medium heat. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.
7. Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent. Then add grated ginger and green chili, cooking for another minute.
8. Stir in the chopped tomato, turmeric powder, coriander powder, and salt. Cook until the tomato softens.
9. Add the boiled potato, diced carrot, and green peas. Mix well and add a splash of water if needed to achieve desired consistency.
10. Sprinkle garam masala and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Garnish with chopped cilantro.
11. Serve the hot puris with the spiced sabzi.
