  • Roll the puri evenly it should not be very thin or very thick.
  • To check the required hotness of oil, drop a small pinch of dough into oil and check-
    –If dough pinch rises slowly or is still at the bottom, then the oil is cold. You need to wait for it become
    more hot.
    –If it rises too fast, then the oil is very hot. In that case reduce the flame or switch off the flame for few
    seconds and let the oil bit cooler.
    –If it rises steadily & briskly to the top, then the oil is sufficiently hot to fry.
