Plain puris are deep-fried Indian bread made from unleavened dough consisting of whole wheat flour, water, and a pinch of salt. Unlike parathas, which are cooked on a griddle, puris are fried in hot oil until they puff up and turn golden brown.
To prepare plain puris, the dough is kneaded until smooth and then divided into small balls. Each ball is rolled out into a thin circle using a rolling pin and then deep-fried in hot oil until it puffs up and floats to the surface. The puris are then removed from the oil and drained on paper towels to remove excess oil.
Plain puris are versatile and can be served with a variety of dishes such as curries, dals, chutneys, or pickles. They are commonly enjoyed as a part of festive meals, special occasions, or as a delicious snack.
