Puri Recipe

1. Wash 1/2 pt yellow split peas and soak them overnight.

2. In the morning wash again, add 1 1/2 tsp salt, and set in pot to boil, with just enough water to cover peas.

3. Boil until it can be cut with a spoon but not mashed with a spoon unless you press really hard.

4. Strain in a colander, throw out unto wax paper, and let air dry for 30 minutes.

5. Place in a grinder or food processor or roll with rolling pin until all is a crushed dry mix.
6. When done, add1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp cumin(geerah), 1/2 tsp coriander, 1 Tbs of finely diced scallion green leaf.

7. Mix all together.

8. Set aside Dough. ( my dough has no leavening, but will rise very nicely, due to the dynamics of cold dough and a hot fire)
9. Use 1 lb of whole wheat flour

10. Cold Water to form a dough.

11. Divide into approximately 9 lime sized balls. Roll out each ball into a flat circle with rolling pin, and then roll the flat circle into a ball again. Place on a floured board. This process develops the gluten, and will cause the puri not to break easily. ( if working in an ac kitchen, cover dough balls with a damp cloth, to prevent dough from drying out)
12. Place a balled dough into your floured hand. Create a well and place some of your peas mix into the well, about 3 to 4 Tbs. pinch the sides of the well together,and close the dough again. Place on a floured board, repeat with all the balls of dough.

13. Now put on your oiled tawa or skillet. Roll out gently a split pea filled ball into a flat circle. Pay attention to make sure the edges have been rolled flat as well. Place on your tawa or skillet. Cook 30 seconds on one side, and 30 seconds on the other until browned. Brush with oil as you cook.

14. Remove from fire and place between wax paper. It is real good with sour recipe, found in the cookbook.
