A crispy puri is the perfect companion to Indian dishes like chole and aloo sabzi. Mastering the art of making them crisp can elevate your meal experience. 

Knead the Dough Well 

Ensure the dough is firm yet pliable by kneading it thoroughly with minimal water. 

Add Sooji 

A small amount of semolina in the dough helps in achieving a crisp texture. 

Rest the Dough 

Let the dough rest for at least 20 minutes, ensuring it’s easier to roll and fry evenly. 

Roll Evenly 

Make sure puris are evenly rolled, neither too thick nor too thin, for consistent crispiness. 

Perfect Oil Temperature 

Fry the puris in hot oil at medium heat. If the oil is too cold, puris will absorb excess oil. 

Fry One at a Time 

Fry one puri at a time to ensure even puffing and crispiness.
