In a large bowl mix the flour, salt, and oil together until well combined
Add the water slowly and knead until a firm dough is formed then cover the dough and allow to rest for 10-15 minutes
Divide the dough into equal pieces and create smooth round balls
Lightly rub a clean surface with a little bit of oil then take each of the dough ball and roll the dough into a small, circular-shaped disc – the puri should be about 1mm thick
Heat up the oil on medium until hot
Drop one puri into the oil and allow the puri to start rising slowly then once the puri rises use the ladle to push it down and allow it to puff up
When the puri has puffed up completely flip and cook the other side for 30 seconds until golden brown
Serve with chana curry and enjoy!

I am going to try for the first time will let you know
I hope you enjoy it. Looking forward to hearing about how it turns out for you!
Hi there 👋🏻 how much water? Don’t actually say in the recipe. Love your site. Your chicken pakora recipe has become a weekly treat ! Made your lamb curry last weekend it was delicious. Would love to make these pooris to go with 😋
Thank you for your kind words and feedback! I’m glad you’re enjoying the recipes. For the pooris, I recommend adding water gradually until you achieve the right consistency. It’s a bit of a visual judgment, but adding water in small increments and kneading the dough should help you get the desired texture.
Tried this recipe and it was lovely except my puris were slightly on the hard side what can I have done to make them softer next time? More oil?
I’m glad you enjoy my recipe. The puri goes hard if you overcook it. Next time fry it for a little less time 🙂
Ok will give it another go thankyou
Oil should be really hot. Hotter the oil softer the puri.
