Diwali Delicacy- Farsi Puri / Masala Puri

Puri or Masala puri or Farsi puri is a favourite tea time snack at home. It can be stored for longer period of time which gives it a preference over other snacks.

 This is also one of the food snack which is prepared by me and mom for this diwali (posted earlier recipe of Shakarpara and Ghughra).

Preparation time: 10 minutes (to knead the dough)

Making time: 30 minutes (to roll the puri’s)

Cooking time: 15 minutes (to fry)

What goes in it:

Wheat flour- 250 gm

Maida- 250 gm

Green Chili, grinded- 2 tbl spn

Ginger, grinded- 1 tbl spn

Sesame seeds- 3 tbl spn

Pepper seeds, crushed- 2 tbl spn

Turmeric powder- 2 tbl spn

Salt- as per your taste

How did we make it:

Take a large plate, put both the flour in it. Add all other ingredients to it and mix them well. Knead the dough by adding water little by little till you get soft and pliable dough.

Make big sized balls out of it.

Roll it into a big chapatti using rolling pin keeping it little thick. With the help of a cup cut/make rounds on the sheet. Take out the puri and make cuts on the puri with the help of blunt knife so that your puri does not swell up.
