Homemade Maida Puri

1In a large mixing bowl, combine maida (all-purpose flour) (2 cups), sugar (¼ tsp), and a pinch of salt. Mix well.

2Slowly add warm water (½ cup) to the flour mixture and knead into a smooth dough. Cover the dough and let it rest for 30 minutes.

3Divide the dough into small balls and roll them out into thin circles using a rolling pin.

4Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.

5Carefully slide one rolled-out dough circle into the hot oil and fry until golden brown on both sides. Repeat for the remaining dough circles.

6Remove the puris from the oil and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

7Serve the hot and crispy maida puris with your favorite curry or chutney.
