Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt and ajwain in a bowl.
- Gradually add the oil and lukewarm water and knead for 5 minutes until you have a firm, smooth dough.
- Cover and let rest for 20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into 12 small balls and roll them into discs about 8 cm across.
- Heat the frying oil to 180 °C in a deep pan.
- Slide a disc into the oil and gently press with a slotted spoon to make it puff. Turn it over as soon as it puffs and cook for 30 seconds on each side.
- Drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately.
Variations and tips
Baked puris. For a less greasy version, brush the discs with oil and bake at 200 °C for 8 to 10 minutes, turning halfway through.
