Methi puri

methi puris

This is one of the lunch box recipes.

Other day I made these methi puris for my daughter's lunch box.She and her friend loved these.This is very easy to make and a bit  healthier and tastier than the regular plain puris.

The ingredients required are:

1. Wheat flour 3/4 cup or to make 5 medium sized puris
2. washed and chopped fresh methi leaves(fenugreek) 1/4 cup
3. red chili powder 1/2 tsp
4. 2 pods of crushed garlic
5. a pinch of asafoetida or hing
6. salt as per taste
7. Water as required to knead into a firm dough
8. cooking oil for deep frying

Method:

mix all the dry ingredients from 1 to 6 .

Add a little water at a time and form a firm dough.

puris rolled out of firm dough absorb less oil while deep frying

let the dough rest for about 5-10 minutes.

divide into 5 portions.

take each ball and roll into puris.

deep fry till golden in colour and take out on a tissue paper.once cooled pack in the lunch box.
