Nothing compares to a plate of hot, puffed-up puris — golden, crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. Traditionally deep-fried, puris are delicious but heavy and oily. A viral internet hack is changing the game, letting you enjoy crispy puris without a drop of oil. Here’s how.
1 Why Everyone Loves Puri
- Crispy texture: The puffed exterior gives a satisfying crunch.
- Versatility: Perfect with aloo sabzi, chole, or even a sweet dish.
- Comfort food: puri is more than a meal — it’s an emotion for many.
2 The Viral Oil-Free Hack
The hack uses minimal or no oil and a microwave or tawa-based method to make puris that are just as puffed and crispy as deep-fried ones. It’s a game-changer for:
- Health-conscious eaters
- Weight-watchers
- Busy cooks wanting less mess
3 Ingredients You’ll Need
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ cup water (adjust to form soft dough)
- Optional: a pinch of baking powder for extra puffiness
4 Step 1: Make the Dough
- Mix flour, salt, and water to form a smooth, soft dough.
- Cover and let it rest for 15–20 minutes for better elasticity.
5 Step 2: Roll & Prep
- Divide dough into small balls.
- Roll each into thin circles, about 4–5 inches in diameter.
6 Step 3: Cooking Without Oil
Microwave Method:
- Place rolled puris on a microwave-safe plate.
- Cook on high for 30–40 seconds. Check puffiness and adjust time if needed.
Tawa Method:
- Heat a non-stick tawa.
- Place puri and cover with a lid. Cook for 1–2 minutes until puffed, flipping carefully.
7 Tips for Perfect Oil-Free Puris
- Dough should be soft but not sticky.
- Don’t overcook; puris can harden.
- Slightly thicker puris puff better than extremely thin ones.
