Prepare the Dough:
Begin by combining the fine semolina, plain flour, a pinch of salt, and black pepper in a large mixing bowl. Gradually add the sparkling water, stirring continuously to form a soft and pliable dough. Once combined, transfer the dough to a bowl dusted with flour, cover it with a damp tea towel, and let it rest for about 30 minutes.

Heat the Oil:
While the dough is resting, place a large, deep pan or wok over gentle heat and pour in enough vegetable oil for deep frying. Allow the oil to heat thoroughly until it’s ready for frying. -
Roll Out the Puris:
After the resting period, divide the dough into four equal portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion into a thin sheet, approximately 1mm thick. Use a 5cm cutter to cut out as many circles as possible. Alternatively, you can take small, grape-sized balls of dough and roll them out by hand into thin, flat circles measuring about 5-6cm across. -
Check the Oil Temperature:
To ensure the oil is hot enough for frying, drop a small piece of dough into the pan. If it floats to the surface and begins to sizzle, the oil is ready. -
Fry the Puris:
Gently slide one circle of puri dough into the hot oil. Fry for about 2 to 3 minutes, using a spoon to submerge the puri under the oil, and carefully flip it over. Continue frying for an additional 1 to 2 minutes, or until the puri turns golden brown and crispy. Once done, transfer the fried puris to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain any excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough. -
