Puri Indian Flatbread (roti)

5 stars based on 4 reviews Rate this Recipe

Method

Slowly add the warm water, just enough to form a firm dough, and knead till smooth.

Cover and let rest at least 1/2 hour, and knead again briefly.

Divide into small balls about golf-ball size, and roll out into 6" rounds on an oiled board.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or saucepan.

Fry the puri one at a time, holding them under the oil on the first side until they puff. Turn and fry till light brown then drain.

Serve as soon as possible, these breads are not as good later.

Tips

Add a little salt to the oil to keep it from smoking.

Hi there! They certainly do need deep frying. Just enough oil to hold them under. I hope you enjoy. X

Hi, these look lovely! I've never tried making them at home but love eating them. How much oil do you need to cook these? Does they need to be deep fried? Thanks :)
