Instructions:

1. Prepare the dough:

   • Start by making the dough for the puris. In a large mixing bowl, add the whole wheat flour, oil, cumin seeds, celery seeds, salt, chopped green onion leaves, and chopped fresh coriander.
   • Mix all the ingredients well to combine. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough, kneading it until it becomes soft and pliable.
   • Once the dough is ready, add a little more oil and knead again to incorporate it evenly.
   • Cover the dough with a cloth or plastic wrap and let it rest for 10-15 minutes.

2. Roll out the puris:

   • After the dough has rested, heat oil in a frying pan or deep fryer to a medium temperature.
   • Take a small portion of the dough and roll it into a ball. Dust it with dry flour to prevent it from sticking.
   • Using a rolling pin, gently roll the dough ball into a 3-inch diameter circle. Be careful not to roll it too thin, as you want the puris to puff up properly when frying.

3. Fry the puris:

   • Once the oil is hot, gently drop the rolled puri into the oil. Fry the puri on both sides, turning it occasionally until it turns golden brown and puffs up.
   • Remove the puri from the oil and place it on paper towels to drain excess oil.

4. Serve:

   • Serve your freshly fried green onion puris warm. They are best enjoyed with a side of Pindi Chole (spicy chickpea curry) and Boondi Raita (yogurt with fried chickpea flour balls).

This Whole Green Onion Puri is a perfect dish for a fulfilling dinner. Its crispy texture, combined with the earthy flavors of green onions and coriander, offers a delightful twist to the traditional puri recipe. Pair it with your favorite curries and raitas for a complete meal that’s both delicious and satisfying.
