Vegan Puri

Vegan Puri is a delightful Indian dish featuring deep-fried, fluffy bread made from whole wheat flour, served with a variety of flavorful accompaniments. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or snack, offering a crispy texture and wholesome ingredients.

Ingredients

• Whole wheat flour - 150 grams
• Semolina (rava) - 30 grams
• Cumin seeds - 1 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Warm water - 75 ml (adjust as needed)
• Oil for frying - 500 ml (approx.)
• Chopped fresh coriander - 2 tablespoons
• Black pepper powder - 1/4 teaspoon

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, semolina, cumin seeds, salt, and black pepper powder.
2. Gradually add warm water while kneading the mixture to form a smooth and soft dough. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
3. After resting, divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin circle, about 10 cm in diameter.
5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Once hot, carefully drop one puri at a time into the oil.
6. Fry the puris until they puff up and turn golden brown, about 30 seconds to 1 minute per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
7. Serve warm, garnished with chopped coriander, alongside your choice of vegan curry or chutney.
