Daal ki puri( Puris made of Pulses and Flour mixture)

When a lady has to run a house hold she tries to make use of all left over of meals, so I was not an exception. From this habit of mine this mouthwatering recipe of these puris took birth. Since these puris have wheat flour and pulses so they become a complete food by themselves. The taste of these puris is so yummy that till the day my daughter and daughter in-law  wanted to make them in their home they  never suspected I put daal in its dough, and it is not the belated complaints I get but the beaming smiles, which makes me very happy.

Preparation Time: 20min.
Cooking Time: 15 – 20 min.
Servings: The given proportion will make 15 – 20 puris.

Tips:-
  • Any leftover daal from the meals can be used to make the dough of daal puri.
  • Those who are not adept at rolling can roll the puris first and keep them separated on a greased plate or on a clean newspaper and then heat oil and fry those rolled puris at one go but one by one.
  • While putting the rolled puri in the oil always put from the edge of wok otherwise hot oil may spill causing burns.
