Method
- To begin making the Chunni ki Puri / Dal & Besan Puri Recipe, wash and soak the moong dal for 20 minutes.In a pressure cooker, add the dal along with 1/2 cup of water and pressure cook for 2 whistles and turn off the heat.
- Allow the pressure to release naturally.Once the pressure has released, mash dal with a whisk or churner, and allow it to cool.
- There will be very little water remaining which you can use to make the poori dough.In a large mixing bowl, add whole wheat flour, besan, salt, hing and the mashed dal.
- Add a little water if required and knead into a firm dough.
- Add a teaspoon of oil on the top and knead for a few more minutes until smooth.
- Cover with a muslin cloth and set aside.In a heavy bottomed pan, add required amount of oil for frying the Dal & Besan Puri.Divide the Dal & Besan Puri dough into equal portions, and dust the surface with whole wheat flour and flatten the dough balls with the rolling pin.
- Roll them out into a 2-1/2 to 3 inch diameter circle.Once the oil is heated, gently slice in the Dal & Besan Puri.Using a slotted spoon, keep pouring oil over the puri and gently press the puri, so that the chunni ki puri puffs up.
- At this point, turn the puri to the other side and fry till it turns golden brown.Drain the Dal & Besan Puri on a kitchen towel to absorb the extra oil and serve hot.
