2) Can wheat flour be used ,if yes wheat flour and maida should be used in what proportion
Hi kraechel,
Made this today with one cup flour. It came out well. In one cup flour i got 1 2 3 4…….only 26 puris. How 26 puris are enough? It vanished in a second. Very tasty snack.
Some puris was soft inside. Do u know why? Give some tips to come crispy and wt dip can i use? Dahi or any sauce?
Will try soon again. Thanks a lot. Keep posting.

Hi Kavi… Glad to note that it came out well.. Thanks for ur feedback….I know the taste is very tempting….I understand when you say the puris were soft… I believe it should just be the matter of proper frying… you can alwyas put such puris back into hot oil and fry for a few seconds…. that will help.. Cheesy dips would be great…
Let me know when you try again… Good luck…
