Instructions for Bitter Gourd Peel Puri Recipe

To begin making the Bitter Gourd Peel Puri Recipe, mix all the ingredients into a bowl including whole wheat flour, gram flour, karela peel, caraway seeds, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder and salt.

Add water slowly and knead it into a soft dough and keep it ready. Rest the dough for atleast 30 minutes.

Heat oil in the kadai to fry the puris and keep it ready.

Make small balls out of the dough and dust the rolling table with flour and flatten the puris with the rolling pin. See to that you make small thick size round out of the dough.

As you have rolled all the dough now, heat a Kadai and add oil. When oil gets heated, gently add a flattened puri.

Using a frying spoon or slotted spoon gently press the puri, put some hot oil on top and move in a circular way.

You will notice that the puri gets puffed and rises up. At this point, turn it to the other side and fry till it turns golden brown. Do not keep the puri in oil for more than 2 Minutes else it will become brittle.

Drain it on kitchen towel, continue the deep frying process for all the other flattened puris.
