Ingredients
 

  • 2 cup bajra flour
  • 2 cup wheat flour
  • 4 tbsp oil
  • 3 tbsp white sesame seeds
  • 1 tbsp green chilli paste
  • 1 cup chopped methi leaves
  • 1 tsp turmeric powder
  • 1 tsp red chilli powder
  • 1 tsp ajwain
  • Pinch of hing
  • Salt to taste
  • 1 tbsp coarsely crushed cumin seeds
  • 1 tsp coarsely crushed black pepper powder
  • 1 tbsp powder sugar - optional
  • 1 cup buttermilk or as required
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  • In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of bajra flour and 2 cups of wheat flour. Mix well.
  • In a pan, heat 4 tablespoons of oil. Add 3 tablespoons of white sesame seeds and sauté them.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of red chili paste and sauté it.
  • Add 1 cup of methi leaves and sauté on high flame for 1 minute.
  • Turn off the heat and add the methi leaves to the flour mixture.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder, 1 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1 teaspoon of ajwain, a pinch of hing, salt to taste, 1 tablespoon of coarsely crushed cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of coarsely crushed black pepper, and 1 tablespoon of sugar. Mix well. The dough should be crumbly and bind when pressed.
  • Gradually add 1 cup of buttermilk and knead into a tight and smooth dough for puris.
  • Divide the dough into small-sized balls.
  • Grease a plastic sheet or zip bag with oil.
  • Place a small dough ball on the sheet and flatten it using a bowl or cup. Repeat for all the puris.
  • Heat oil in a pan on medium flame. Drop the puris into the hot oil and fry on both sides until golden and crisp.
  • Drain the puris on a wire rack to remove excess oil.
  • Store the puris in an airtight container. Enjoy methi puris for up to 1 month.

  • For 1 cup of flour, 1 tablespoon of oil should be perfect.
  • Sauté methi leaves on high flame. Do not overcook them.
  • Buttermilk enhances the taste of puris.
  • Knead a tight dough for puris.
  • Fry the puris on medium flame.
