Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Amaranth Flour Rajgira atta
  • 1 cup Buckwheat Flour Kuttu atta
  • 1 medium-size Boiled Potato
  • 1 tbsp Oil
  • 1 tsp Cumin powder
  • 1 tsp Pepper powder
  • Peanut oil for frying
  • Salt as per taste

Instructions
 

HOW TO MAKE THE DOUGH:

  • Take a broad vessel and add Amaranth (Rajgira) flour), Buckwheat (Kuttu) flour, and mix well with your hands.
  • Now mash the boiled potato and mix it in the flour along with cumin powder, pepper powder, salt, and 1 tbsp oil.
  • Add warm water and knead the dough very softly.
  • Knead it to form a soft dough and cover it with a muslin cloth for 15-20 minutes before rolling them.

HOW TO ROLL PURIS:

  • Once the dough is rested for 20 minutes knead it again and small balls out of it and keep it covered in a bowl.
  • Now start rolling the puris by dusting little Buckwheat flour and/or by applying oil on the rolling pin.
  • Roll it very softly or else the edges will break. Roll all the puris and keep it on a plate.

HOW TO FRY THE PURIS:

  • Heat oil in a pan/Kadai and once the oil is hot enough to fry slide the puris gently and fry all of them in batches from medium to high flame till the puris fluff.
  • If the puris do not fluff then press the puris slightly with the slotted spoon (Jara) and fry.
  • Flip and fry on both sides until the puris are brown and cooked well.
  • Remove all the puris on a kitchen napkin to remove excess oil.
  • Serve these puris with Vrat wale aloo ki sabzi and farali chutney.
