Puri

Ingredients                                        

Wheat flour	3 cups
Salt	1 tspn
Oil	1 ½ cup

Method

1. In a mixing bowl, add wheat flour and salt and mix with water. Knead it into a thick pizza-like dough. Cover it and leave it aside for at least 2 hours.
2. Heat oil in a frying pan, preferably a small one in a slow flame.
3. Knead the dough once more and make it into small balls about the size of a lime.
4. Roll each ball with a rolling pin into a round circle. It should not be too thick or too thin.
5. Now increase the flame to medium and start frying the puris. Once the puri is fluffy, turn it to the other side. When it is light brown in colour, remove it and drain it on a paper towel.
6. Serve the puris hot with saagu, navarthna kurma, potato curry or channa masala.
