Instructions for Matar Ki Puri (Crispy Puffed Indian Bread With Peas)

To begin making Matar Ki Puri, first prepare the dough.

Mash the green peas lightly with your hands, in a mixing bowl.

Add flour, chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, mint and salt to it.

Knead together with little water at a time to form a smooth, soft dough.

Meanwhile, heat oil in a kadhai for frying puris.

Take a lime sized ball of dough and roll it out into a circle which is two and a half inch in diameter. Roll out the remaining douhg into similar puris.

When the oil is hot, slip the puris in one by one pressing down gently so they puff up. Flip them to make them brown on either side.

Remove with a slotted spoon, drain on kitchen paper and serve immediately with Tamatari Aloo, Aloo Bhey Ki Sabzi or Dubki Waley Aloo.
