Puri, Indian Puffed Flat Bread by Manjula

[MrPhotomania]

Manjula, I made Puris and for the first time it came out very well and stayed puffed up for a long time too. I impressed my family who enjoyed every last bite. Thank you for this great effort you take. You give small tips on how to make the dish just right and it worked out very well. Thanks a million. God Bless You.

[TheCuteGurl88]

i eat those with hunny :)

[ccho18]

Hello Aunty, I can't hear clearly about he measurement of water. How much water do I need to mix with 1 cup of flour?

[jabhatta]

how much oil needed ?

[meow61]

Thank you Manjula ji.You are fantastic.

[ChrizCee012]

I love how you cook Manjula. My question is; how long will Puri keep?

[Kagura876]

cool they look like pillows...Im gonna try and make them...they looks delicious

[prady1965]

Do you use Baking Powder or Yeast? Just flour and water?

[Manjulaskitchen]

@prady1965

Just flour and water

[rshujaat]

@prady1965 If the wheat flour is knead good then no need of yeast or baking powder.

[msuuups21]

hi anti can we also use those puris with halva

[Manjulaskitchen]

@msuuups21

Puri and halva sounds great.

[lub783]

everytime i make puris they turn out really hard and crispy :(

[Manjulaskitchen]

@lub783

you must be frying on low heat.

[TheReelFunny]

@Manjulaskitchen so if its hard and crispy that means we cooked it for too long? because i had the heat on med-high.. and everytime i try to make puri or roti it turns out too hard/dry/crispy and the inside is really dry

[sujan2300]

@lub783 Yeh same here i lov puris but it's so hard while making

[philaphobic]

@lub783 i think you are letting them fry for too long. you are cooking out all of the moisture in them, making them crispy. maybe serve a lettuce salad inside them if they get crispy! that sounds yummy to me.

[cometstars87]

manjula,

can we reuse the oil and if yes,how many times can we reuse it?

[consentida97]

love this bread we have a restaurant here in little rock is called star of india awesome recipe.

[DragonForceF0REVER]

Awesome video. Thanks for sharing your cooking skills with us. :)

[xAsianXpsychox]

Salam Auntie, Thank you so much for your recipes, but my question is that for the whole wheat flour, instead of that, could i use a substitute of "self rising flour, bleached, enriched" instead? Its the only flour i have currently until i go back to the stores.

[Manjulaskitchen]

@xAsianXpsychox

self rising flour will not work but you can use that making Batura.

[tophatsaremagic]

I love your videos.

[yochilanga]

i am a mexican girl but indian food lover,evrything what you cook looks delicious and for for sure taste is better

[ChiomaxD]

Would the puffs end up being crispy or soft?

- Love thee recipe and would love to try it!

[toofar2go1]

So nice nd puffy puris..

thnkX

[ViolaGirlLovesMusic]

Hey Manjula,

[Portubella12458]

What are Puris traditionally eaten with, and what are they good with?

[skyzthelimit100]

@Portubella12458 HALWA

YUMMM!

[WWEFusion]

[ritubhallau]

ur method of every recipe is very very simple& that's the good thing of ur recipes

[Elementfifth]

thank you now I will actuatlly cook

[neelubird]

Such an authentic recipe by an authentic auntyjee. Manjula reminds me of my mum:D

[vivaharshad]

in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, we love our puris with shrikhand ... yumm!!!

[seniordiscount]

No yeast? Thanks.

[couthyquine]

Great video - thank you. I had a lovely Indian flatmate as a student, she showed me how to cook many Indian dishes and it is lovely to see this as a reminder - I still make chapattis as she showed me but I think will have to try some more of your recipes now!

[freedom4mic]

what is whole wheat flour called in Urdu or in Pakistan.

[passingpoor]

atta

[Gr8Teaist]

Thank you Angela: I always enjoy your presentations.

[ZhugeLiang51]

manula can we use maida instead of atta(whole wheat flour)for making puris,will they be the same?

[Manjulaskitchen]

you can but end result is very different.

[armghanb]

I tried Both Atta and Meida .... and somethimes both together (Half and Half) but the best result was with only using Atta .... and also make sure the Oil is so hot that the smoke is coming out Enjoy!

[activedentalfloss]

Love these with chickpeas and paneer. Yum, im hungry now.

[poolthatsall]

o yea made the flat bread loved it very good recipe thank you very much great video

[mq2311]

WOW! thats great.....i surely try to make this at home....Thanks

[ensign962114]

Thank you!

Whole wheat flour works best, especially the kind you can get at East Indian grocery stores. But I don't hesitate to use common white flour in a pinch.

If I'm not mistaken, bhatura is a yeasted bread.

Great to see a master at work, thanks again!

[sicLotus]

Is this recipe called "Bhatura" too? Or is there another recipe for that food?

[sjs7heaven]

Thank you! I can't wait to serve this to my children

[shaolin564]

thank you very much for these wonderful recipes!

[raptor21582]

will it work with all purpose flour? thats what i have right now.

[zirconax]

Aunty ji ....muh mein paani aaa gaya :) .... Hostel ki puri khaa khaa kar give up ho gaya hai ..... wapas ghar ki yaad aa gayee

[Prewinter]

Oh my gosh, thank you! I've been attempting this recipe for a long time now but these instructions were perfect. I just tried it and got my first successful "magical" rising poori bread. :)

[timzes]

u make it look so easy im going to attempt making it 2day

[ladysoy]

I noticed that you use no yeast and yet the dough puffs up like magic. Is it because you make the dough soft? And is it necessary to use wheat flour? Can you use what you have on hand, like all-purpose flour? Will that affect the taste?

[Sweetmurry]

you can use white flour but get the "better for bread" or "self rising flour" also once out of fry pan you can put ghee (clarified butter) and then sprinkle a tiny bit of salt on them. Or you can sprinkle cinn and sugar for a dessert puri :)

[sumandesh]

Hello Manjulaji, I tried this recipe for the first time & puries were great. Thanks a lot for the wonderful recipes. Can we add pinch of sugar insted of salt in a dough?

[dhol7]

Great vid. I'm no expert but our Asian food is very unhealthy. We should be looking at alternative ways for cooking our food by baking or grilling. I know its hard to make a puri without frying it but I'm sure a master chef will show us one day. ta 4 posting :)

[sunammar]

hi!munjula dee.thanx for ur wonderful recipes.i have tried ur recipes and they al coe out very gud.i have tried puri as well but after frying my puris became very hard .cud tell me y this happ to my puris?thanx.sunammar

Hi Aunty,

Could you please let us know the name of the pad you used for rolling(what to say for it to purchase or for search in amazon)...I want to purchase one pad like that....and Thank you very much, I like your videos very much....

[Manjulaskitchen]

It is a Silicone Baking Mat

[porunthu]

When the puri is pressed flat soon it tends to get smaller in size. What is the reason and how it can be prevented.

[Xoiboi]

I just LOVE puris!!! I eat mine with Thali at my favorite restaurant in Artesia, CA. (Rajdhani)... they're great!!! Thank you Manjula for teaching me how it's done!!! Now I can make my own! Also, a comment on how you do your videos. I'd like to thank you for using the word you would use in your language, and also telling us what it means as well as giving us the english word!!! This has been a HUGE help to me when shopping in the Indian Grocery stores!!! Thanks again!

[millyrav4]

[Em0gUrLArMy92]

Manjula, thank you for showing a video on how to make puri, I am an American girl, although I do like to eat international foods sometimes. I had first tried this bread back in November of 2007, and I liked it a lot! It tastes so good! Again, thank you for showing how to make it. I will probably try it myself sometime soon : )

[Sausheaven]

Thanks a lot for such a prompt reply:) May u be blessed with the best of blessings. Thanks again, and namastay, although I am from Pakistan:) Lots of love!

[Sausheaven]

Lovely video. Just one question...do u think these pooris will be soft while eating with curry or will they be crisp and crumbly while eating?? I like soft pooris, plz give a tip to make them soft if u have one. Lots of gratitude for ur video.

[Manjulaskitchen]

pooris should stay soft, just dont leave them open for long.

[saligosh]

After we watched your video, my son(who posted comment below)and I made this for the family. We all enjoyed eating it as much as we did making it.

[saligosh]

Hey this is amazing my mom makes it and i  help sometimes too its fun!love it!

[brainbore]

Thanks a lot.. Keep up your good work.

[SaraaKh]

Hello! Thank you for your videos! Can you please show a video on how to make Bhaturas(You know chole bhatura)? They are really good when eaten outside but not at home... Can you please post. If you can when do you think you can. Thanks

[Manjulaskitchen]

I will do the bhaturas and chola but I can not tell you when. thank you

[esox66]

very nice technique with the spoon rotating it around the bread while in the fryer. They look delicious.

[Chidima]

Manjula, thank you!

It can not get any easier with this video and clear details and demonstration of the technique to get them to puff up like a pillow.

Thank you, thank you, thank you...I'll give them a try.

[jeffrey64]

You make it look so easy! I hope it works out for us, thanks for the lesson!

[NeverisaPromise7]

Your hand is masterful! I will always enjoy watching your videos.

I really want to try this good recipe but Munjla aunti i can't hear your voice about contety of water. please tell us that.I like your all recepes. Thank you.

[oshalolu]

how much water? in the video, your voice skips when you say the measurement. please tell again - thanks.

[dhimanshu]

Which brand of wheat flour do you use?

[onlyvideosforme]

Hello Manjula Aunty, I have been watching ur videos regularly. Ur recipes are soo nice & simple. I did not know how to cook. Married 5 months back & now in US with my husband.. I tried this puri recipe and I was shocked to see the result. It turned out very nice. My husband was very impressed by me. Thank you so much and continue the good job.

Luv- Sarah

[Chidima]

Ms. Manjula - thank you sooooo much! I have struggled to make puris through at least four batches now. Each time it gets better but not quite what you have produced here in this video. I learned though that I need to pat them with the spoon right after they start to inflate, I didn't know that.

[soyberta]

i just love you! thank you, you are great

[vickyvickyrock]

Nice..Thanks very much..will try making them

[gonetapott]

I love your flat bread video. The bread looks great!

[maestrolady]
