There is another way of making aloo ki puri besides the method given below. It is by stuffing aloo mixture in the puri. The recipe which I am sharing is much easier to make and absorbs much less oil than by stuffing. So, give it a try.
Recipe of aloo ki puri
1 cup whole wheat flour (atta)
2 medium potatoes (aloo) - boiled, peeled and mashed well
1/4 tsp garam masala powder
1 tsp cumin powder
½ tsp red chilli powder
Salt to taste
2 tsp oil + to deep fry
1. Mix atta, potatoes, cumin powder, red chilli powder, garam masala powder and 2 tsp oil. Knead into medium stiff dough. Use as little water as possible. Use boiled aloo to knead the dough.
2. Keep aside for 20 minutes covered with a damp cloth.
3. Heat oil in heavy bottomed vessel (kadhai).
4. Take a small ball (peda) out of the dough and roll out like a puri. Deep fry poori on both sides on medium heat. Fry till golden. Serve hot aloo ki puri with pickle of your choice.
