- Oil the surface of a chapathi press. Press the discs one at a time with just enough pressure to get a nice round Puri. Not too thick .Not too thin either or it will be hard and crisp. (fry 1 and you will know
- If you do not have a chapathi press you can roll each disc out with a rolling pin evenly( do not flour the rolling surface though )
- Slide each rolled out puri into the wok and allow to fry on medium heat.
- When it comes to the surface and one side is golden, gently turn over and fry the other side pressing gently into the hot oil with a flat slotted spoon/spatula .( this will make the puri puff up)
- Remove from oil with the slotted spoon into a colander or large strainer to drain off excess oil.
