Method for Making Rice Flour Puris
Making rice flour puris is not difficult; you just need the right technique. When the dough is kneaded correctly, the puris are rolled properly, and the oil is at the right temperature, the puris will turn out crispy and fluffy every time.
Step 1: The Right Way to Knead the Dough
In a bowl, add rice flour and salt.
Now, gradually add boiling water little by little.
Mix with a spoon, then when it cools slightly, knead a soft but firm dough with your hands.
Apply 1 teaspoon of oil on top, cover, and let it rest for 5 minutes.
Remember, rice flour should not be kneaded with cold water; otherwise, the puris will crack.
Step 2: The Right Way to Roll the Puris
Apply a little oil to your hands.
Make small balls of dough.
Place them between two plastic sheets or damp cloths and roll them gently. There's no need to use dry flour, the puris will become hard.
Step 3: The Perfect Frying Method
Heat oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the puris only when the oil is well heated.
As soon as you add the puri, press it gently with your hand; it will start to puff up.
Fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
Remove and place on butter paper or a kitchen towel.
Special Tips for Perfect Rice Puris
Always knead the dough with warm water.
Keep the dough balls covered so they don't dry out.
Do not apply too much pressure while rolling.
The oil should not be too cold or too hot.
Fry immediately; delaying will cause the puris to break.
