Puris


Rava (wheat)-- 1 cup
Maida --1 tablesppon
Soda -- 2-3 pinches
Salt  -- 1/4 tsp
Oil  -- 1 tablespoon + for frying



In a mixing bowl add rava and oil and mix it thoroughly.
Add salt, soda and maida and give it nice mix once again.

Now add 4-5 tablespoon of water and start mixing the dough. Add little water at a time and knead the dough until it becomes elastic and smooth. This will take around 10 minutes of kneading and 2-3 tablespoons of water.

Rest the dough covered for 30 minutes.

After half an hour knead the dough for a minute and roll out in to thin roti. The roti shouldn't be very this but thick ones will not puff up nicely. Once rolled cut it into circles and let it sit in a place for 3-4 minutes.
Heat oil and deep fry these puris until crisp and golden. Cool and store it in a airtight container.
