Singhare ki Puri (kuttu puri) (vrat ki puri)

Singhare ki Puri 

 

It is a special puri prepared during pujas that require fasting. In India or Indian’s living abroad eat this especially during their vrat’s (fast). From childhood I enjoy singhare ki puri and pokora’s prepared my lovely mother Sunita kamath.  Yesterday I went to south hall (London) and I managed to get singhare ka atta (Waterchestnut flour). It was sankasti and I prepared this puri. My husband enjoyed it a lot; he was eating this puri for first time.

Ingredients:

Singhare Ka Atta or Waterchestnut Flour	2 cups
Potato (boiled, peeled and mashed)	2 medium size
Sendha namak / rock salt	To taste
Green chillies	2-3 finely chopped
Coriander leaves	Half cup finely chopped
Oil	For deep frying

 

Method:

1.        Knead all the above ingredients into a dough. Mix all the ingredients before you add water as potato will also aid in some binding. Add water slowly as this flour is different from regular flour and needs less water.

2.        Make small ball out of this and roll / pat them into puris.

3.        Deep fry the puris in oil / ghee till golden.

4.        Serve with aloo curry or any other curry of your preference or just with plain yoghurt and pickles.

Serves: 3-4

Tip: Do not add more water. www.thboxes.com
