Notes

For masala puri
  • Besan enhances the taste of puri.
  • The proportion of besan should be ¼ of the wheat flour.
  • Do not increase the proportion of besan.
  • Adding milk to the dough gives softness to the puri.
  • The puri dough should be tight. You do not need soft dough.
  • Fry puris on high flame so they will easily puff up.
For batata chips sabji
  • Instead of boiling, frying potato chips enhances the taste of sabji.
  • Masala paste gives a perfect coating of masala on batata chips.
  • Batata chips nu shak taste great when it is prepared spicy.
