Easy Recipe: Singhare Ki Puri for Festive Season

This crispy and flavorful puri is not only a treat during fasting but can be enjoyed anytime as a delightful snack or accompaniment to your favorite curry. Let's dive into the recipe to make this delectable dish at home.

Ingredients:
– 1 cup Singhare ka atta (water chestnut flour)
– 2 medium-sized boiled and mashed potatoes
– 1 green chili, finely chopped (adjust to taste)
– 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
– 1 teaspoon black pepper powder
– 1 teaspoon sendha namak (rock salt), or as per taste
– Fresh coriander leaves, finely chopped
– Oil for deep frying
– Water, as needed

Instructions:

Step 1. Prepare the Dough:
– In a mixing bowl, combine Singhare ka atta (water chestnut flour), mashed potatoes, chopped green chili, cumin seeds, black pepper powder, rock salt, and chopped coriander leaves.
– Mix well to form a dough-like consistency. If the dough is too dry, add a little water at a time until you achieve the desired consistency. The dough should be soft but not sticky.

Step 2. Shape the Puri:
– Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls.
– Take one ball of dough and flatten it slightly between your palms.

Step 3. Roll Out the Puri:
– Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
– Place a dough ball on a clean surface and gently roll it out into a small circle using a rolling pin. The puri should be neither too thick nor too thin.

Step 4. Fry the Puri:
– Once the oil is hot, carefully slide the rolled-out puri into the hot oil.
– Fry until it puffs up and turns golden brown on both sides, gently pressing down with a slotted spoon if needed.
– Remove the fried puri from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 5. Repeat the Process:
– Repeat the same process with the remaining dough balls, rolling them out and frying them until all the puris are done.

Step 6. Serve Hot:
– Serve Singhare ki puri hot with any fasting curry or yogurt-based dish of your choice.
– Enjoy the crispy and flavorful puris as a delightful snack or accompaniment to your favorite meal.
