Puri Masala

This happens to be one of my favorite breakfast. Thanks to the oil quotient I get to make this once or twice in a month. This time it was an inspiration from Easy Crafts.

I always try to add different things to the puris to make them more interesting. Usually I add peas puree, palak purree or just some masala. This time I decided to make some masala puris. So here it is.

Masala Puri

Whole wheat flour - 1 cup

Turmeric Powder - a pinch

Red Chilli powder - 1 tsp

Dhania Powder - 1 tsp

Ajwain - 2 tablespoon

Salt to taste

Milk to mix the dough

Oil to fry

Method

Put all the ingredients except the milk in a mixing bowl and mix well. Then add milk as necessary to make a soft pliable dough. Keep it aside for atleast an hour. Roll out the puris and fry them in hot oil.

Potato Masala

Boiled Potatoes - 5 (mashed)

Onions - 1 medium size finely chopped

Green Chillies - 4 - 5 (as per your taste) finely chopped

Ginger - 1" piece finely chopped

Besan (Chickpea flour) - 1 tblspn mixed in 1/2 cup of water

Salt to taste

Oil - 2 tblspn

Method

In a kadhai heat oil and temper with mustard, chana dal and urad dal. Then add the onions, green chillies and ginger. Fry them till the onions turn translucent or brown. Add the mashed potatoes mix well. The mixture would be a thick one so add the besan water, the mixture turns into a gravy but the besan prevents it from being too watery. Keep on fire for 5 - 6 minutes. Garnish with coriander and serve hot.
