Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Rajgira ,(Amaranth flour) or kuttu ka atta
  • 1 medium boiled potato ,mashed
  • ¼ teaspoon cumin seeds
  • ½ teaspoon crushed black pepper
  • Sendha namak ,rock salt to taste
  • Water for kneading
  • Ghee or oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Add the rajgira (amaranth) flour or kuttu ka atta to the mashed potatoes.
  • Season the mixture with crushed black pepper, cumin seeds, and sendha namak (rock salt). Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
  • Start kneading the dough by mixing the ingredients. If the dough is too dry, add a little water, but be cautious as you don't want it to be too wet. You want to achieve a smooth, pliable dough.
  • Divide the dough into small, equal-sized portions and roll them into balls.
  • Heat ghee or oil in a kadai (wok) over medium heat.
  • Take a ball of dough and place it on a clean surface. Gently press it with your fingers to flatten it. Note: You can use plastic bag to roll the puri.
  • Roll out the flattened ball into a puri using a rolling pin, without tearing the dough. The puri should not be too thin or too thick, roll it to a medium thickness.
  • Once the oil is hot, carefully slide the rolled puri into the hot oil. Fry until it puffs up and turns golden brown on both sides.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the puri from the oil and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  • Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
    This recipe yields 8 puris.
  • Your Vrat ki Puri is ready to be served. These puris go well with Vrat Wale Aloo ki sabzi (potato curry). Enjoy your meal!
