Easy and simple crispy deep-fried snack recipe made with wheat, moongdal, and a blend of spices for a lip-smacking taste. Unlike the maida or traditional farsi puri recipe, it is more crisp and thin in size but can be consumed for the same purpose. This crispy puri is typically used as an evening munching snack with a cup of tea but can also be used to make chaat recipes. Do try this!
The key to making crispy moongdal farsi puri at home are
- Soak moong dal into hot water for 1-2 hrs or till it becomes soft.
- Oil or ghee should be perfect for incorporating into flour, so flour should have a crumbly texture and hold shape between hands.
- Knead puri dough is firm and not soft like chapati dough. I recommend adding water in batches while kneading to keep it under control. Also after resting time dough will become slightly soft.
- Roll the puri’s should be slightly thinner than a normal chapati or roti’s. this would help in attaining a crisp brittle texture.
- Fry puri in small batches on a medium flame. Once deep fried, store them in an airtight container for longer shelf life.
