400 g plain/wholemeal flour (sifted)

120 ml cold water

250 g melted ghee/500 ml oil (for deep-frying)

How to cook:

 

1. Combine flour with sufficient cold water to make a pliable dough.
2. Knead dough lightly until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth for 1 hour.

6. Turn puri over and cook the other side until pale golden.
7. Drain well on a paper towel.
