Deep Fried Indian Bread

The best part is, the recipe is open to variations in terms of the spice and herbs. And the total time to put the dish on the table is just 30 minutes. So, for all those rushed evenings, the recipe is a life saver. The dough can also be made in advance and refrigerated to be rolled in to puris later in the day. How good is that ?

If you don’t like deep fried stuff, try making rotis/parathas with the dough – equally delicious !

Notes

Instead of deep frying, you can cook it on a flat tawa/griddle as a paratha. Place the rolled thins and cook it till brown spots appear. Apply ghee/oil and flip it over. Apply a little oil and let it cook till it turns golden brown. Take off flame.
