Store-bought ingredient : Home made bread! (Puris with Pillsbury biscuit dough recipe)
Kylie, is Yasir’s colleague’s young daughter, and she had asked for some Indian bread recipe, so Yasir emailed her the link to making Puris/parathas from my blog.
She made puris, and I am super impressed!! They took a picture, I will post it, they look perfect!
So, I remembered the short cut I used to take to make puris, when I started cooking. I dont know who had given me this tip, but it was great! Pillsbury biscuit dough, available in almost all grocery stores here in US, can be used to making a different variety of Puris made in India, they are called Bhature (eaten usually with Chole).
Ingredients:
Pillsbury biscuit dough,
oil for frying,
all purpose flour for dipping
Method:
Divide the biscuit dough in half, and roll them in your palms, and then flatten them into discs. Dip in a little all purpose flour, and then roll out little circles with a rolling pin. Fry as per the instructions listed in the Puri recipe.
