Soft fluffy Puri or Deep fried Indian wheat bread

Puri are originated in north India. But now it has reached every Indian household because of its yum taste and texture. Puris in other words are deep friend wheat bread that is similar to chappathis but the trick to its yum taste and balloon like fluffiness is in its dough and making.

Ingredients:

wheat flour: 1 cup
Water or milk : 1/4rth cup or as needed.
salt: as required
oil: to fry

Procedures:

In a vessel knead wheat flour milk/water and salt to form a tight dough. Here i used milk to give a yum rich flavor to the puris. Keep aside. In a deep vessel or kadai, heat oil till it about smoking point. partition the dough into small balls and roll each into semi thick (thicker than chappathi) sheets. Carefully put these sheets into the smoking oil and after a sec or so slightly press the puri frying in. This helps collect air in the puri thus making it fluffy. DO not allow the frying puri to push away the spoon. Turn it around and do the same. Drain it off oil and place it on a tissue so as to soak all the excess oil.

*-> here, the smoking oil not only helps to fluff up the puris but also avoids it from soaking excess oil and being soggy.
