PuriAlso known as Masala Puris
Summary
Ingredients
- 1 1⁄2 c well-sieved whole-wheat flour
- 1⁄2 c unbleached white pastry flour
- 1⁄4 t cayenne or paprika powder
- 1⁄2 t turmeric powder
- 2 t coriander powder

Instructions
1. Combine the sieved wheat flour, white flour, powdered spices, and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the ghee and, using your fingertips, rub the ghee into the flour mixture until it reaches the consistency of dry oatmeal.
2. Pour in just under ½ cup of water and mix vigorously, adding enough water to prepare a slightly stiff but pliable dough. Knead with the knuckles or palms, using a little melted ghee, for about 10 minutes, or until the dough is smooth and elastic. Gather the dough into a ball, spread a film of ghee over the surface, place it in a bowl, and drape the surface with a damp cloth. Then allow the dough to rest for ½ to several hours at room temperature.
3. Roll, shape, and fry the puris as directed in the basic Puri recipe on this page. Offer to Krsna hot.
