Directions
Melt the butter or ghee if desired.
Mix the whole wheat flour, the semolina, the salt and the sunflower oil (or the melted butter or ghee) in a bowl.
Add the water and mix again. You should get a firm, tight dough.
Divide the dough into 30g portions.
Roll the dough in your palms to form a ball.
Brush the dough with oil.
Heat the oil over medium heat.
Flatten the ball and roll it into a round puri. It should be neither too thin nor too thick (about 0.6 cm).
Dip the puris into the hot oil. Do not stir them until they reach halfway up the surface. They will sink a little at first, but will quickly rise.
Gently press them down with a ladle. When the puris begin to puff up, gently turn them over and fry them on the other side until golden brown and crispy.
Place the puris on absorbent paper to remove the cooking oil.
Ready. Enjoy! You can also serve your puri with curry meats, chana, pickles (achar), salads and/or vegetables. Have a hot or cold drink or a local alcohol.
