Papri

Yummy papri is loved by all. We can eat papri as it or, add in bhel to make bhel puri or for papri chat. My daughters love to eat papri. Thats why I planned to make it today. I tried to make it little easy for the stomach by mixing wheat flour and maida in 1:2 ratio. Also added ajwain for good taste and digestion.

I took 2 cups of maida and 1 cup of wheat flour, 1 1/4 tsp salt and ajwain 1 tsp.

　

Take all the ingredients in a big bowl/parat.

Mix all the ingredients.

 

Make a well in the centre of the flour. Add 1 tbsp oil and moyan(rubbing the flour with both the hands to mix oil properly).

　

　
Add luke warm water to make dough. Dough should not be soft like chappati. Keep it little tight and knead well.

　

　
Make balls of 2" diameter and roll them into thin 7-8" diameter circles. After rolling prick them from a fork or knife, to prevent them from puffing while deep frying. But I didn't do so, as like the little puffed papris.

Take a small bowl/cookie cutter anything of desired size to cut papri from the rolled flour.

Heat the oil in a kadai and deep fry the papris on medium flame till golden brown.

　
Cool them and store in an airtight container to enjoy them longer as upto 15-20 days.
