How to make
Maida Puri is a delightful Indian deep-fried bread made from a simple dough. To prepare the dough, combine maida (all-purpose flour), rawa (semolina), salt, and a tablespoon of oil or ghee. Gradually add water to form a smooth dough. Cover it with a damp cloth. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes. For frying, heat oil in a pan over medium flame. Divide the rested dough into small balls and roll them into circles of moderate thickness. Fry the puris in the hot oil until they puff up beautifully. Serve the crispy puris alongside a flavorful Potato Curd Masala for a delicious meal.
