Methi Puri


Few weeks ago after getting fresh Methi from Indian market, i decided to try something different than usual paratha or vegetable and so came this puri. The first attempt itself was perfect and so tasty that I had to share.

Methi Puri
Ingredients
1 Bunch Methi
2 Cup Maida
1 Cup Wheat Flour
2 Green Chillies
1 Spoon Ginger
4-5 Garlic Cloves
Salt to taste
Oil

Method
  • Wash methi and add it to the mixer
  • Add ginger, garlic, green chilli and half cup of water. Crush it to fine liquidy paste.
  • Pour it into the plate, add in maida, wheat flour, salt and knead soft dough.
  • Add couple drops of oil and knead again for a minute. Keep aside for half an hour
  • Heat oil in pan, roll small puris from the dough and fry them till light brown on both sides.

Notes
Making very fine paste is important because otherwise the pieces will come out while rolling and the puris would remain flat.
I didn't need to use more water while kneading dough as the paste itself was enough to accommodate the maida, but you could change the water and maida quantity if you need to.

Puri for SPDP (Shev Batata Dahi Puri)


Since we came here, we weren't able to get the puris for making SPDP - Shev Batata Dahi Puri which is among favorite chaat items for Ajoy. Using paani puri's puri for SPDP doesn't seem right and I am sure it wouldn't taste as good either. So I decided to give try making these puris. Tried few times and now I think I have got the recipe right which gets best results, and is certified by many friends who had chance to taste :)

Puri for SPDP (Shev Batata Dahi Puri)
Ingredients
1 Cup Maida
2 Spoon Rawa
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
Oil
Salt

Method
  • Mix Maida, Rawa and salt together.
  • Add in melted butter and mix well.
  • Add in 1/4 cup water and knead soft dough.
  • Grease the dough with 1/4 spoon oil and cover and keep aside for an hour.
  • Make round balls and roll them thin and big. Cut using cup or cookie cutter into small round shapes.
  • Heat oil and fry the puris on both sides over medium flame till light brown on both sides. Take out on kitchen towel and let it soak oil from puris.
  • Heat oven to 350F/175C and bake the puris in it for 10 minutes.

Notes
I have noticed that if you roll the puris thin then they wont bubble up and that's how you want them for SPDP.
Also I baked the puris again because that make them crispier, that is any rawness and moisture left after frying goes away and puris.
