Knead well for around 12- 15 mins in total. • Now cover it with a damp cloth and let the dough rest for at least 20 mins. • After 20 mins, roll out the dough into a thin chapatti. Use a round cutter to cut 10-inch diameter puris. • Now cover these puris with a damp cloth so they don’t dry out. • Heat Fortune Sunflower Oil in a pan on moderate heat. • Check if the oil is hot enough by dropping in a small piece of dough and the dough should make bubbles and rise up. • Now fry the puris and use a slotted spoon to slightly press the puris under the oil till they fluff up. • Once they are golden brown, use the slotted spoon to remove them from the oil. • Do not cover the puris when hot, if covered while hot, they will turn soggy and soft. • Once cool, the crisp puris can be served.
