Holi color puri

Holi just got over and after playing with colors, what could you cook to make dinner special?

Color puris!!

This is just ordinary puri made with wheat flour, but the process involved is little tedious, but worth the effort.

Ingredients:

Wheat flour - 4 cups

Oil - 4 tbsp + extra for deep frying

salt - 4 pinches

4 Different colors

Milk - 2 tbsp

Divide the wheat flour into 4 equal parts.

Knead each part with a pinch of salt and different color into a tight dough. Coat with oil to prevent drying.

Spread each ball into disc of equal size.

Place one disc on top of the other and brush milk over each disc to help in sticking together. (sorry, no pictures!!)

I placed yellow first, brushed with milk, then blue, brushed with milk, then green, brushed with milk and last red. Brush milk over the red layer also.

Then roll onto a tight roll.

Keep wrapped in cling film until use.

When you are ready to fry your puri, cut into small discs and shape into puri.

Deep fry and enjoy with chole curry or a simple masala / bhaji
