Indian Bread Recipes - Deep-fried Bread Puffs (Puri) Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 quantity of chapatti dough

• Oil for deep-frying

---

Method:

1. Roll out the dough as for the chapatti and divide into twelve balls of equal size. On a lightly floured surface, flatten the balls with your palms, then roll them out into flat circles.

2. Heat plenty of oil in a wok until very hot. Place one circle of dough into the wok and immediately start flicking hot oil over the top of it with a spatula so that it swells up like a ball. This should only take a few seconds. Turn and continue to deep-fry on the other side until golden brown. Repeat with the rest of the dough. Serve immediately with a curry, such as Creamy Shrimp Curry (refer recipe).
