Kutu Puri Recipe

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Making the Dough:

  • Begin by preparing the dough. In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups of Kutu flour with water gradually, kneading until you achieve a smooth and pliable consistency and maintaining sufficient amount of moisture to roll easily.
  • Adjust the water as needed to ensure the dough is not very firm yet easy to work with.

2. Rolling the Puri:

  • Once the dough is ready, take a small portion and roll it into a ball.
  • Dust your rolling surface with kutu flour to prevent sticking. Place the dough ball on the floured surface and gently roll it out into a thin, round puri using a rolling pin.
  • To ensure the puris remain fresh and pliable for frying, avoid dividing the whole dough into small portions and rolling them into balls all at once. Since Kutu flour is gluten-free, the dough may dry out quickly when left exposed to air. Therefore, it's best to roll each puri just before frying to maintain its freshness.

3. Frying the Puri:

  • Heat oil in a deep pan or kadhai over medium heat. Carefully, slide the rolled puri into the hot oil to avoid any mishappening.
  • Fry the puri until it puff up and turn golden brown on both sides, flipping it occasionally for even cooking.
  • Once done, remove the puri from the oil using a slotted spoon and drain excess oil on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Repeat the same process for the other dough balls.

4. Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve the hot and crispy kutu puris with your favorite side dish such as potato curry and chutney made up of green coriander leaves or as you wish to like.
  • Whether enjoyed as a snack or part of a meal, these puris are sure to tantalize your taste buds with their authentic Nepali flavors.
