Images on Rasoi Buddy are for illustrative purposes only and may not represent the exact appearance of the final dish.
Kuttu Ki Puri is a robust and nutrient-dense deep-fried bread made from Buckwheat flour, traditionally prepared during Navratri and other Hindu fasts. Buckwheat is a pseudo-cereal known for its warming properties and high fiber content. The dough is prepared by mixing the flour with boiled potatoes and spices, resulting in a dark, earthy, and flavorful puri. It has a slightly coarser texture compared to wheat but is prized for its satisfying crunch. Best enjoyed with dahi aloo or a cooling cucumber raita to balance its inherent heat.
