Rajgira Poori recipe, a delightful gluten-free flatbread made from amaranth flour, ideal for fasting(vrat) meals. Crispy and aromatic, it pairs wonderfully with Vrat Wale Aloo Ki Sabji for a satisfying and flavorful experience.
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!
