Puri, otherwise known as poori, is a popular Indian deep-fried puffy bread usually made with whole wheat flour (chapatti flour). However, chapatti flour isn’t something that people always have in their pantries, so this recipe offers an alternative by using plain flour. It will taste just as good and delicious!

Usually served for breakfast, this puri recipe is a versatile accompaniment for lunch and dinner as well. 

Turn the dinner savoury by serving the dish with side dishes such as chana masala, sabzi, or even dal. Alternatively, this puri recipe can also be eaten with sweet dishes such as suji halwa or kheer.

Everyone has their own recipe for this recipe. Some people like to add sugar to the dough. This helps to create a golden-brown colour.

Some recipes add semolina which makes the puri crispier. However, I have kept my recipe simple just like my mother used to make it!
