Ingredients : 

·         Put 2 c. flour into a large mixing bowl.

·         Cut butter into small pieces. Make a hollow in the center of the flour and add butter. Rub butter into flour with your fingertips until mixture looks like large bread crumbs.

·         Mix salt into water. Add enough water, a little at a time, to flour mixture to make a firm (but not stiff) dough.

·         Knead dough in bowl for about 5 or 10 minutes. Cover bowl with a damp cloth and let stand at room temperature for at least 1 hour.

·         Divide dough into pieces about the size of walnuts. Roll each piece into a smooth ball with your hands.

·         Sprinkle remaining 1/2 c. flour onto a flat surface. With a floured rolling pin, roll out each ball until it resembles a thin pancake, about 1/8 -inch thick.

·         In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat.* Carefully place each puri in oil, one at a time. Using a spatula, carefully splash oil onto puris while frying. This will make puris puff up and will cook the top side of each one. Fry puris about 2 minutes, or until golden brown on both sides. Remove puris from skillet and drain on paper Towels

·         Continue cooking puris, one at a time. Wrap the cooked ones in a towel to keep them warm.

·         Brush cooked puris with butter and serve warm.
