1 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
Water and oil as required for kneading
oil for deep-frying
Method:
Sift the flour and add all the ingredients except water and oil. Incorporate all together well. knead the flour using little water and oil alternately till it becomes a semi soft ball.
At this stage,knead with oil alone as the dough should be slightly more tougher than the chapathi dough.
Divide these into 1 inch balls.
Heat oil in a wok or kadhai for deep frying. Heat over medium high heat.
Take 1 ball and roll it into approximately 5 inch circle with or without dough.
Slip the flattened circle gently into the hot oil.It should puff up.Fry the other side too and drain them on a paper towel.
Do the same for the remaining puris.Serve warm.
