Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cup Whole Wheat Flour whole
- 1 tbsp Semolina rava
- 1.5 tsp Salt or to taste
- 1 tsp Chili Flakes or to taste, red
- 0.5 tsp Carom Seeds ajwain
Wet Ingredients
For Frying
- Oil as needed, for deep frying
Instructions
Prepare the Spinach Puree
- Combine spinach, green chilies, garlic, and ginger in a blender. Add 2 tablespoons of water and blend until a smooth puree is formed.
Make the Dough
- In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, semolina, salt, chili flakes, and carom seeds. Add the spinach puree and 2 tablespoons of oil. Mix well.
Knead the Dough
- Gradually add water, a little at a time, and knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough. Knead for 5-7 minutes until smooth and elastic. If the dough is too dry, add more water, a tablespoon at a time. Let the dough rest for 10-15 minutes.
Roll and Fry the Puris
- Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a thin, round puri (about 3-4 inches in diameter).
Deep Fry
- Heat oil in a large, deep pan or kadai over medium-high heat. Carefully slide the puris into the hot oil, a few at a time, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry until golden brown and puffed up, turning occasionally. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Serve
- Serve the Palak Puris hot with your favorite tea or chutney.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for Perfect Palak Puris
- For a richer flavor, use ghee (clarified butter) instead of oil.
- Adjust the amount of green chilies according to your spice preference.
- Don't overcrowd the pan while frying the puris; this will lower the oil temperature and result in soggy puris.
- If the dough becomes too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time.
