Ingredients

  2. Divide into 12 small balls and roll each into an even disc about 4 in across.
  3. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 375°F — the oil must be properly hot.
  4. Slide in one puri at a time and press it gently with a slotted spoon as it rises, until it inflates into a ball. Turn once and fry for about 30 seconds in total, until pale gold.
  5. Drain on kitchen paper and serve at once, while puffed.
