Methi Puri

This is another post of my on similar lines with Jeera Puri. This is somewhat spicy, made of whole wheat. Equally tasty..We love both the variations. Anytime snack.



Ingrediants

2 Cup Wheat flour
3 Tbsp Oil
Salt
Turmeric powder
Chili Powder
Coriander powder
3 Tbsp Crushed Kasturi Methi/ Dry Fenugreek Leaves
Water/ Milk to make dough


Procedure


Add all the ingredients together in a mixing bowl and make a semi hard dough. Cover it and let it rest for about 15 mins. You may choose to you fresh chopped fenugreek leaves instead, but in that case I would strongly suggest to add a tbsp of sugar as well.




Now divide them into smaller ball. Roll them into a thick big circle. Now using the fork keep punching it so that it has holes all over. This is important step, if the holes are not made then the puris would puff up while frying, and they would be soft. 



Now using a cookie cutter or lid of bottle , cut them in circles. Repeat this till all the dough is used up. 

In the meantime heat oil, add the pieces into the oil and fry them on SLOW flame. Slow frame is extremely essential to get that perfect crunch for at least 7-8 min. 
Remove then from the oil, and drop them on tissue to drain excess oil. They would be slightly soft when you remove them, but would turn crunchier as they cool.

Let them cool completely before storing them in air tight containers. They have pretty long shelf life.
