During the lockdown, hubby would hunt for simple recipes on YouTube that could be had for a brunch, a lunch, or even a dinner. With just the two of us at home, cooking elaborate meals three times a day felt like a task. And, during one such hunt, he came across this recipe.
It doesn’t need too many ingredients. In fact, it tastes equally good even if you missed out on a few ingredients or added some of your own. But, you get a dish that is tasty and satisfying.
Sharing with you all the recipe today. I can’t remember where hubby found the recipe, but I would like to thank whoever shared it. I love it!
SAVOURY ALOO PURI
INGREDIENTS:
Wheat flour – 3 cups
Potatoes – 2 medium, boiled and mashed.
Turmeric – half tsp
Red chilli powder – 1 tsp
Garam Masala – 1 tsp
Ajwain – 1/2 tsp
Ginger-Garlic paste – 1 tsp
Green chilli paste – Optional – 1 tsp
Kasuri methi – 1 tablespoon
Ghee – 1 tablespoon
Salt – to taste
Oil – for frying.
METHOD:
In a mixing bowl, take the wheat flour and mix all the masala, Kasuri methi and mashed potatoes.
Heat the ghee in a tadka pan and then pour it in the above mixture (ghee gives a distinct flavour to the puri).
Mix it all well and prepare a dough.
Heat oil in a kadhai and deep fry the puris till golden brown.
You can have these with your favourite pickle, or dal, or just like that. With the kind of taste-makers we have added, these really don’t need any accompaniments! 🙂
Do try these out and let me know how you liked it.
Pin it for later!
I had made this sometime at the start of the lockdown. Tastes yummy, right? But I’m too lazy to make it. Seems like a lot of hard work.

I make the aloo roti but am a little averse to making anything deep fried, as I might have mentioned earlier. Just don’t know what to do with all that oil after frying, since we use a variety of oils – depending on the cuisine. Not saying I won’t eat this if you made it though! 😉

Haha! Maybe someday I will make it for you, Corinne 🙂
Yes, I remember you mentioned once you don’t prefer deep frying coz of the remaining oil. I generally use that oil for tempering in dals or sabji/curry. 🙂
