**** PURIS WITH VARIOUS FILLINGS..**

PURIS ALSO KNOWN AS POORIS ARE DEEP FRIED INDIAN BREAD. ALL LOVE TO HAVE AT LUNCH, DINNER OR EVEN AT BREAKFAST. WHILE TRAVELING, ON PICNICS, ALL LOVE TO CARRY THESE WITH A POTATO SUBZI. THE TASTY PURIS  ARE MADE OUT OF WHEAT FLOUR OR THE FINE FLOUR OR A MIX OF  BOTH. 
WHEN MAKING THE DOUGH THE METHOD IS SAME, IT IS THAT A FEW  ADDITIONAL ADD ON'S COULD BE LIKE ADDING FEW SPOONS OF SEMOLINA, RICE FLOUR THEN ADDING LITTLE RED CHILLY POWDER AND TURMERIC POWDER. MAKE THE DOUGH USING FEW SPOONS MILK OR PUREE OF SPINACH OR TOMATO.
IT DEPENDS UPON INDIVIDUAL'S TASTE.

NOW ABOUT THE STUFFING HAS TO BE OF SOFT NATURE, SO THAT ROLLING BECOMES EASY. TRY TO USE GRATED VEGETABLES TO AVOID ANY PROBLEMS AND MAKE LOVELY PURIS.

WHILE MAKING DOUGH TAKE FLOUR OF YOUR CHOICE ADD SALT AND OIL, THEN TO ADD TURMERIC POWDER + RED CHILLY POWDER IS ON YOU. IF WISH TO ADD SPINACH PUREE IS ON YOUR TASTE.
THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT STUFFING AND  FILLINGS THAT CAN BE FILLED INSIDE TO GET REAL TASTY PURIS AS A END RESULT. FOR MAKING THE FILLING ONE INGREDIENT CAN BE SUBSTITUTED WITH ANY OTHER THAT IS AVAILABLE. THE USE OF MASALAS ALSO DEPENDS ON ONES TASTE. IF THE RECIPE SAYS USE GARAM MASALA AND YOU WISH TO ADD CHAAT MASALA THEN DO THAT AND SEE YOUR OWN CREATIVITY.
