Tips & Secrets
- Adding a teaspoon of semolina (Suji) to the flour is the absolute secret to keeping the puris crisp for longer.
- Hing (asafoetida) is mandatory in the potato gravy to provide the signature aromatic kick of North India.
- The potato gravy should be thin and juicy to ensure the hot puris can absorb the flavors effectively.
- Maintain consistent high heat for frying puris; cold oil will make them oily and prevent them from puffing.
