Aloo puri (potato puri)

Aloo puri pairs puris, small whole wheat breads that puff up when fried, with a cumin-spiced potato curry. It's a beloved breakfast or festive meal, and the puris balloon dramatically in the oil.

Instructions

  1. For the dough, mix the flour, salt and oil, then gradually add the lukewarm water until you get a soft, smooth dough.
  2. Knead for 5 minutes, cover and let rest 30 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, cut them into cubes and boil them 10 minutes in salted water.
  4. Toast the cumin in a lightly oiled pan, add the sliced onion and let it brown for 5 minutes.
  5. Add the chopped tomato, turmeric, garam masala and chili, then the drained potatoes. Mash them lightly and simmer 5 minutes.
  6. Divide the dough into small balls, flatten them into thin discs with a little oil and cut out rounds with a glass.
  7. Heat the oil to 180 °C and slip in the discs: they should puff up immediately.
  8. Fry 1 minute, pressing gently with a slotted spoon, drain and serve hot with the potato curry.

Variations and tips

Lighter version. Cook the puris dry in a hot pan for a few seconds per side, then press them so they puff up.
