Methi Bajra Puri

on

To prepare Methi Bajra Puri, a nutritious and flavorful Indian bread made with fenugreek leaves and pearl millet flour, you will need the following ingredients:




Ingredients:

  • 1 cup pearl millet flour (bajra atta)
  • 1/2 cup wheat flour (atta)
  • 1/2 cup fresh fenugreek leaves (methi), finely chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
  • 1/2 teaspoon green chili paste (adjust to taste)
  • 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander powder
  • Salt to taste
  • Water as needed
  • Oil for deep frying

Here's a step-by-step guide to making Methi Bajra Puri:

  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the pearl millet flour, wheat flour, fenugreek leaves, ginger paste, green chili paste, turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, and salt. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.

  2. Gradually add water little by little to the mixture and knead it into a firm dough. The amount of water needed may vary, so add it gradually until you achieve a smooth and pliable dough. Let the dough rest for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  3. After resting, divide the dough into small lemon-sized portions. Take one portion at a time and roll it into a small circle, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter. Dust some flour on the rolling surface to prevent sticking.

  4. Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat for deep frying. Once the oil is hot, carefully slide in the rolled puri and fry it until it puffs up and turns golden brown on both sides. Flip the puri once to ensure even frying. This process should take around 1-2 minutes per puri.

  5. Remove the fried puri from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain off any excess oil. Place the puris on a paper towel to remove additional oil.

  6. Repeat the process with the remaining portions of dough, rolling and frying them into puris.

  7. Serve the Methi Bajra Puris hot with your choice of side dishes, such as aloo curry, chole (chickpea curry), or any other curry or chutney of your preference.

Methi Bajra Puris are a delicious and healthy alternative to regular puris, thanks to the addition of fenugreek leaves and pearl millet flour. Enjoy them as a main course or as a snack with tea or coffee.
