This summer, mom and I spend a relaxed afternoon making saranachi puri. I loved every single moment we spent together trying to master this recipe. My boys were home that day and we were happy to see them appreciate and devour these yummy treats!
Although, not as common as laddu’s or karanji, Saranachi Puri is my eipcurean mom’s specialty! When I ask her about it, she tells me that it is a traditional recipe that she has tweaked to a slightly modern and sophisticated taste and look.
She has a few twists to this traditional saranachi puri recipe that I love! The best one is, roasting the puri/flatbread on a pan before deep frying. This truly helps it absorb lesser oil making it less greasy and healthier. So here we go with the recipe and few photos to give you a good visual of different steps. Here is semolina and chickpea flour roasted golden brown over medium heat: Make the stuffing by mixing grated jaggery in warm milk, cardamom powder, nutmeg powder, saffron, ground nuts and roasted semolina + chickpea flour: Make dough with the semolina and all-purpose flour and allow it to rest for 1-2 hours: After the dough has rested make it into four smaller balls. Using a pestle beat each dough ball on a firm surface for 4-5 minutes or until the dough becomes soft and no longer looks grainy. Make small balls with the dough and the stuffing: Get ready to roll and roast the puris: Here we are ready to fry them! Heat ghee/oil in a medium kadhai/wok on high heat. Once the oil is hot, add 2-3 puris at a time and lower the heat 30 seconds after adding the puri. Fry on medium-low heat until both sides of the puris are golden brown and crisp. Take the puris out on a tray lines with paper towel.
