Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cups Chickpea flour (besan)
• 2 medium Boiled potatoes
• 0.5 cup Green peas
• 0.25 cup Yogurt
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Chili powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh coriander leaves, chopped
• 2 cups Oil for frying
• 0.75 cup Water
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, chickpea flour, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and yogurt. Gradually add water and knead into a smooth, elastic dough. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes.

Step 2

While the dough is resting, peel and mash the boiled potatoes in a bowl. Add green peas, cumin seeds, turmeric powder, chili powder, coriander powder, garam masala, remaining salt, and chopped coriander leaves. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly.

Step 3

Divide the dough into small lime-sized balls. Roll each ball into a small, thick disc (about 3 inches in diameter) on a lightly floured surface.

Step 4

Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. Test the readiness of the oil by dropping a small piece of dough into it; it should sizzle and rise to the surface steadily.

Step 5

Gently slide one puri into the hot oil. Using a slotted spoon, press down slightly on the puri as it fries to encourage it to puff up. Fry for about 30-40 seconds on each side until golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the puri from the oil and drain on paper towels to remove excess oil. Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough balls.

Step 7

Serve the crispy puris hot with the spiced potato mixture alongside any additional chutneys or pickles you may prefer.
