Notes

Shilpi’s Quick Tricks
  • Knead the dough neither very soft nor very hard. If you take same proportion of water as mentioned in the recipe your dough will be perfect.
  • Knead the dough for few minutes so that sooji dissolves and gluten effect forms. That will make puris crisp.
  • Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 – 30 minutes and then knead it again.
  • Roll the puri thin, evenly with gentle hands. If puri's are not rolled properly they may not puff in the oil.
  • Cover the rolled puri's in the moist cloth so they do not dry up.
  • Put only one puri at a time and shake the oil little bit with your spatula as shown in the video. This will certainly make most of the puris puff up.
  • Be careful when you are shaking the oil with spatula do not drop it on yourself.
  • Once pooris for pani puri is ready let them cool down before using.
  • The pooris which are not puffed can be used for making sev poori or papri chaat.
