Rajgira Puri is a majestic, gluten-free deep-fried bread made from Amaranth flour, specifically consumed during Hindu fasting rituals. The flour is highly nutritious, rich in protein, and offers a nutty flavor profile. To ensure pliable dough and soft puris, mashed potatoes are often incorporated into the mix. These puris turn golden-brown and puff up beautifully, providing a satisfying crunch and soft interior. Traditionally served with potato bhaji or shrikhand, they are a centerpiece of any fasting thali.

Cooking Instructions

Tips & Secrets

  • Using hot mashed potatoes provides the best elasticity to the Rajgira dough.
  • Ensuring the dough is firm prevents the puris from absorbing excessive ghee during frying.
  • Always roll the puris between two greased plastic sheets to avoid them from breaking.
  • Deep fry on a medium-high flame to ensure the puris puff up instantly and stay soft.
