Questions about Puri
How do you make puri puff up?
Roll each piece of dough evenly, not too thin, and slide it into oil heated to about 180–190 °C. Press it gently under the oil with a slotted spoon; it should balloon within seconds, then turn it once and lift it out as soon as it is golden.
Can you make puri dough ahead of time?
Puri dough is best fried soon after kneading, while it is still firm and easy to roll. If you need to prepare it ahead, cover it tightly and refrigerate it for a few hours; bring it back towards room temperature and knead briefly before rolling.
How do you keep puri crisp after frying?
Drain puri upright in a sieve or on a rack rather than stacking it, so steam can escape. Serve it soon after frying: covered puri softens as trapped steam condenses.
What do you serve with puri?
Puri is often served with potato curry, chana masala or a spiced chickpea dish, and can also accompany halwa for a sweet-savoury meal. Tear off pieces to scoop up the curry.
Can you reheat leftover puri?
Reheat puri briefly in a dry frying pan over a medium heat, turning it once; it will warm through but may not regain its original crispness. Avoid microwaving it if you want to keep it from turning soft and chewy.
How is puri different from paratha?
Puri is a small, unleavened bread fried in hot oil, where it puffs into a hollow pocket; paratha is usually cooked on a hot pan with fat and stays layered or flat. Per 100 g, paratha has 333 kcal and 14.4 g fat, compared with 366 kcal and 22 g fat in puri.
Is puri deep-fried?
Yes. Puri is fried in enough hot oil to let the dough float and puff, rather than cooked on a dry pan; the oil should be hot enough that the dough puffs quickly without becoming greasy.
How much puri is a serving?
A practical serving is one or two small puris alongside a curry or vegetables; their size varies, so a fixed weight is not especially useful. Each 366 g provides 366 kcal.
