Directions
Popular deep fried bread had mainly for breakfast. Is also served at auspicious occasions like Navratri. Because it is fried it keeps for long without going bad. My experience using Oil for frying results in lighter and less greasy puri. Oil stands strong with repeated frying as well.

- Whole wheat atta – 250 gms
