Masala puris are a delightful Indian snack made from deep-fried unleavened dough that is seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices. Typically served as a snack or appetizer, these puris are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, bursting with flavor from the spices.

To prepare masala puris, a dough is made from whole wheat flour, seasoned with spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, chili powder, and sometimes other herbs and spices such as ajwain (carom seeds) or kasuri methi (dried fenugreek leaves). The dough is kneaded until smooth, rolled out into small discs, and then deep-fried until golden brown and puffed up.

Masala puris are often served hot and accompanied by various chutneys, pickles, or yogurt for dipping. They make for a delicious and satisfying snack, perfect for any time of the day.
