Sk's Bermi Poori recipe - How to make Sk's Bermi Poori
- Clean, wash and soak the split green dal overnight.
- Next day grind dal together with sliced spring onions to a fine paste, add chili powder, salt and cumin seeds and grind again for 1-2 mins.
- Sift the flour and add all the ground ingredients and mix well, adding very little water to make a stiff dough.
- Knead well for 10 mins. until you have a smooth non-sticky dough.
- Divide this dough into 15 balls and roll out each ball into a 4" disc and a little thicker than the usual puris.
- Heat oil in a pan till smoking hot, lift one puri and lay it on the hot oil surface and it will rise within seconds and begin to sizzle.
- Gently press the center of the puri down in the oil as this will help the puri to puff up.
- Once done remove the puris and place on a kitchen paper to drain the excess oil and to keep hot.
