🕒 Cook Time: 15 minutes
🕒 Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:

Instructions:
-
Mix the Flours:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and all-purpose flour. This combination yields the perfect texture and flavor for your puris. -
Create a Well:
Make a well in the center of the flour mixture. This is where the magic happens! It’s like creating a cozy nest for your liquid ingredients. -
Add the Liquid Goodness:
Pour in the yogurt and milk into the well. These ingredients add moisture and richness to the dough, ensuring your puris turn out soft and flavorful. -
Bring it Together:
With clean hands, gently combine the flour and liquid ingredients to form a firm dough. Don’t be afraid to get a little messy – it’s all part of the fun! -
Divide and Conquer:
Divide the dough into approximately 20 small balls. These will form the base for your puris, so aim for uniformity in size to ensure even cooking. -
Roll it Out:
On a floured surface, roll out each dough ball into small-sized tortillas. Aim for a thickness that’s just right – not too thin, not too thick. -
Heat Things Up:
In a deep fryer or a large, deep pan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Carefully slide in the puris, one at a time, keeping the top side facing up. -
Fry to Perfection:
Fry the puris until they puff up and turn lightly golden brown, flipping them once to ensure even cooking. The aroma filling your kitchen will be irresistible! -
Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the puris from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil. Serve them piping hot alongside your favorite curries or enjoy them on their own as a delightful snack.
These homemade puris are guaranteed to be a hit at your dining table. With their soft texture and irresistible flavor, they’ll have everyone coming back for seconds (and maybe even thirds!). So go ahead, indulge in the joy of homemade goodness – you deserve it!
