Puri Kurma reciepe

Recipe for Puri :

Wheat flour - 1 cup

Hot oil - 1 tbsp

Salt - 1/2 tsp

Milk - 2 tbsp

Water to make dough

Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and make in to a dough(not too soft nor too hard)

Keep it aside only for 10 minutes.

Oil to fry puri.

Keep oil in a kadai. Till it gets hot, 

there are  two ways to roll the puri,

 

normal method is,

take small lemon size balls and roll into small round shapes. Keep it aside. Once the oil is hot, slip all the puris one by one and fry the puris on high flame. If you try to fry it in low flame, the puris will soak more oil.  

 

Method is,

Take a big portion of (almost a big orange shape) dough and roll it into thick and big round cirlce(in to the size of a eating plate). Take a small bowl or katori which has sharp edge. Keep it with sharp edge on the rolled dough on a side and press it hard so that you will get the puri out when you remove the bowl. Repeat with the remained rolled dough. And at the end you will get a star shape in the middle. Or you can cut with a knife for desired shape. When ever I make it for the kids, I will try to make maximum shapes like triangle, diamond or star. Star shape is my daughter's favorite.
