- 3 8/15 oz frozen broad/fava beans
- 1 tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp amchur/mango powder
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp salt
- 7/16 lbs chapati flour (atta)
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 3 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/3 cups water
Prepare
- 2.5 fresh ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 green chilli, finely chopped
- Juice 0.5 lemon
Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the frozen broad beans and simmer for 6–8 minutes, until starting to soften. Drain well.
-
Step 2.
Transfer the drained beans to a food processor. Add the roughly chopped ginger, finely chopped green chilli, and lemon juice. Blitz until roughly chopped. Stir in the garam masala, amchur powder, ground cumin, and salt. Tip the mixture onto a plate and divide into 6 equal balls. Set aside.
-
Step 3.
While the beans are cooking, make the dough. Place the chapati flour in a mixing bowl. Add the vegetable oil and salt. Slowly pour in 80–100 ml water, stirring with a wooden spoon until a dough forms. Knead for 4–5 minutes until smooth. Divide into 6 equal balls.
-
Step 4.
Take one dough ball and roll it out on a lightly floured surface to a 12 cm (5 in) circle. Place one ball of the broad bean paste in the center. Wrap the dough around the filling to form a round parcel, ensuring it is fully enclosed. Press down lightly, then roll out again to a similar-size circle. Repeat with the remaining dough balls and bean paste.
-
Step 5.
Heat a little vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium–high heat. When hot, add one puri and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, until browned and starting to crisp. Remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining puris.
