Tips & Tricks
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the puris to ensure they puff up properly.
- If the puris are not puffing up, gently press them with a slotted spoon while frying.
- For a variation, you can add spices like cumin or ajwain (carom seeds) to the dough for extra flavor.
Serving advice
Serve the homemade fluffy puris hot, straight from the frying pan, to enjoy their crispy texture. They pair perfectly with aloo curry, chole masala, or any other Indian curry of your choice. Don't forget to garnish with fresh cilantro for added freshness.
Presentation advice
Arrange the golden puris on a platter, stacking them slightly overlapping to showcase their beautiful color and texture. Serve them alongside a bowl of curry or chutney, and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped cilantro for an appealing presentation.
