Dietary: Vegan

Makes: 10

Ingredients:

120g gram flour

40g plain brown flour or chapatti flour

1/2 tsp chilli powder

1/2 tsp turmeric powder

1/2 tsp cumin seeds

1/2 tsp salt

1 tbsp ghee plus extra for cooking

1 ripe banana

1/2 tsp jaggary or soft brown sugar

Method:

Sieve the flours together and mix in the chilli, turmeric, cumin and salt. Rub in the ghee.

Mash the banana with the sugar & knead into the flour mix, bit by bit, you may not need all the banana, until a rollable dough has formed.

If the dough is too sticky add a little flour or a drop of water if the dough is dry & crumbly.

Divide into 10 equal balls, dip in flour and roll out into circles about 10cm wide, shake off any excess flour. Smear a non-stick frying pan or a griddle with ghee and fry the puris one at a time until golden on both sides.

Eat hot with a thali.
