Masala Puri


My children love taking these to school. And the best part is I can knead the dough the night before. In the morning, by the time the oil heats up; the flattened dough is ready to be deep- fried. The usual accompaniment is pickle (chunda - a sweet mango pickle); but when I am in a good mood (early mornings are tough, trust me) I make a  potato curry. My friend says that it tastes good with Raitha too.

Ingredients:
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Salt - 1 tsp
Pepper - 1/2 tsp
Jeera powder - 1/2 tsp
Chilli powder - 1/2 tsp
Asafoetida / kayam - 1/2 tsp
Til seeds - 1 tsp
Oil / Ghee - 1 tsp

Oil for deep frying

Method:
Knead all the above using water into a firm dough and then knead in the ghee.
Flatten into small rounds and deep fry in hot oil till golden brown.
