How To Make Kuttu Ki Puri

2. Gradually add water as needed and knead the mixture into a firm and smooth dough.

3. Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls. Take one ball at a time and roll it out into a small puri using a rolling pin. Make sure the puris are of even thickness for uniform frying.

4. Heat ghee or oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat. The puris should be fried in hot oil to ensure they puff up and cook evenly.

5. Carefully slide one puri into the hot oil. Press gently with a slotted spoon to help it puff up. Fry until both sides are golden brown and crispy.

6. Once done, remove the puri from the oil using a slotted spoon, allowing excess oil to drain back into the pan. Place on a plate and serve it hot.
