And this you must try...Pudina Puris

I made this for breakfast on sunday and was applauded. I cant take the credit for the original recipe (Thank you Tarla Ben!) but here goes

Pudina Puris
2 cups of maida
2 table spoons of ghee
1/2 cup of mint / pudina leaves
1 green chilly
1/2 tsp of jeera / cummin seeds
1 tsp lemon jiuce
Salt and Sugar to taste (but please dont omit the sugar - it adds to the taste)

In a mortar and pestle, pound the pudina, green chilli and cummin.
Add this and the ghee to the maida along with the salt and sugar. Rub it in nicely and knead the dough with a little water.

Roll and fry, on medium heat. These puris turn out khasta (slightly crisp) and taste fantastic with a cuppa chai. I tried them with mango pickles and it kills the flavor of the mint - so that was a bad idea. It tastes great just as it is.

Are they fattening - of course they are!! Are they worth it - of course they are!!!
