Cheese puri



I never liked to eat puri, when I grew up. Mostly because my mother would try to save the oil by using as little oil as possible for as long as possible. The result: the worst breakfast ever.

However things change, when you have kids. All three of them like to eat puri. It started with a visit to Komala's restaurent( they closed down) and they saw the puffed up bhatura. They have been asking for puri ever since.They will stand next to the stove holding their plates while I make, so they can eat hot puris.

Cheese puri is their favourite.

Ingredients

1 Potato boiled and mashed

75 gms of plain flour

75gms of wheat flour

50 gms of mozarella cheese grated

Salt.

NO WATER.

Mix all the ingredients and knead till you get a pliable dough. Initially the dough will look dry, don't add water.. keep for 20 mints, knead again. Roll in to 7.5 cm round puri and deep fry. Serve hot.

This is a new version of puri. Never heard of adding cheese. Anyway, I bet it tastes great.
