Kuttu Ki Puri

A delicious and crispy Indian flatbread made with buckwheat flour and mashed potatoes, traditionally prepared during fasting days like Navratri.

Ingredients

1. 2 cups buckwheat flour (kuttu ka atta)
2. 4 potatoes (boiled and mashed)
3. ½ tsp salt
4. ½ tsp black pepper powder
5. Clarified butter (ghee) for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Dough

   • Boil and mash the potatoes until smooth.
   • In a large bowl, combine buckwheat flour, mashed potatoes, salt, and black pepper powder.
   • Mix well and knead into a soft, pliable dough.

2. Shape the Puris

   • Divide the dough into small equal portions and roll them into balls.
   • Dust lightly with dry flour and roll each ball into a small circular puri (about 3–4 inches in diameter).

3. Fry the Puris

   • Heat ghee in a deep frying pan over medium flame.
   • Gently slide one puri at a time into the hot ghee.
   • When it puffs up and turns golden on one side, flip and cook the other side until evenly browned.
   • Remove and place on absorbent paper to drain excess ghee.

4. Serve

   • Serve hot with aloo sabzi, curd, or vrat-friendly chutney for a satisfying festive meal.
