Cuisine: Indian
Serves: 16-24
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • ⅓ cup almond meal/flour
  • 2 tsp ghee
  • pinch tsp baking soda
  • ⅓ cup coarse sugar
  • ⅓ tsp salt
  • 5 cardamom pods, powdered
  • pinch saffron
  • 1 tbsp ghee
  • 2 tbsp rice flour
  • 20 cloves
  • Oil to deep fry
Instructions
  1. In a large plate or bowl, add the all purpose flour, almond meal ghee, baking soda, coarse sugar, salt, cardamom powder, crushed saffron. Mix everything together. Using your clean hand mix everything like a short crust pasty. Let the ghee distribute evenly throughout. If you press the dough in your palm, it forms a loose ball.
  2. Add a couple of tablespoons of water at a time and make a dough. DO NOT work the dough too much. It will be soft, yet a firm dough. It comes together easily. Cover and let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
  3. In a tablespoon of ghee, add rice flour and whip it for a minute. Set aside.
  4. Make 20-24 equal portions of the dough. The ball should be about an inch in diameter.
  5. Using some all purpose flour, roll the dough thinly. Spread a little rice flour mixture on the dough. Fold it into a triangle. Pierce with a fork. Pin a clove in each.
  6. Heat the oil to deep fry the puris.
  7. Keep the oil on low heat and deep fry each puri to a golden brown. Take it out and sprinkle some granulated sugar.
This stays well for about 2 weeks in an airtight container.
