What you need to make sattu ki puri

Ingredients

• Sattu: I always prefer using tauji sattu, this sattu is easily available in Bihar, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh.

• Flavouring: pickle oil, pickle masala, carrom seeds, green chilli, onion and other spices.

• Water: as required while making sattu stuffing. I have used 1 cup water but it depends, always keep it in mind that sattu stuffing shouldn’t be too dry or too wet.

• Dough: wheat flour and water.

• Oil: refined oil, canola oil or extra light olive oil for frying.

How to make sattu puri

Puri dough

• Make a dough of wheat flour and water. Don’t add all the water at once add little by little.

• The dough should have medium consistency it should neither be too soft or too hard.

• Let the dough rest for 25 to 30 minutes and then use it in making puri.

Sattu stuffing

• In a bowl add sattu, chopped onion, pickle oil, pickle masala, chopped green chilli, carom seeds (ajwain), salt, red chilli powder and dry mango powder (amchur powder).

(Note: if you don’t have pickle oil or pickle masala used smoked mustard oil instead of that. don’t use un-smoked mustard oil. You can even use homemade or readymade pickle oil and masala, I have used homemade)

• Now, add little by little water in it and mix it with your hands. Don’t add all the water at once.

• Rub it between your palms to smooth out all the lumps. add little more water if required.

• Moisture is must in stuffing so it should not be dry. If you have any doubt about this sattu stuffing then do check this video.

• Stuffing should be such that when you hold in your hand it should bind and when you break it, it should turn back to crumbly texture.

• It is ready.

Stuffing puri/frying

• Take a small ball of dough as shown in image below.

• Now, with the help of both the forefinger and thumb spread it by making a small dent in the center.

• Stuff the dent with sattu stuffing and press it gently. Join and close all the edges and flat it slightly with fingers.

• Place the dough ball over the rolling pin and dust it with wheat flour. Roll it into a small round puri.

• Deep fry it in a hot oil at medium flame. press the puri gently with the help of a ladle and it will puff up.

• Fry it until both the sides turn golden brown in colour.

• Drain off the excess oil and transfer the puri to absorbent paper.

• Sattu puri is ready, serve it hot.

Top tips

Sattu mixture

• I have use tauji brand sattu which is easily available in Bihar or Jharkhand

• The sattu stuffing shouldn’t be too dry or too wet. It should be as such that it shouldn’t stick to you hands and when you hold it can bind together.

• If you don’t have pickle masala and oil then use smoked mustard oil but pickle oil makes it more flavourful.

• You can also use minced garlic or chopped coriander leaves in the sattu stuffing for more flavours.

• If you don’t eat onion then skip it.

• You can taste the sattu and adjust the salt or spices as per your taste.

• Do not add all the water at once, add little and mix then again add little water and mix.

• Sattu mixture can be stored for 10 days in the refrigerator you can use it for making puri, paratha or kachori.

Puri

• For making puri you need roti dough or wheat flour dough. (Wheat flour+water= roti dough). It should have medium consistency which is neither hard nor too much soft.

• Don’t over stuff the puri, 1 tablespoon of sattu mixture is enough for 1 puri. If you over stuff it it may break out and will become soggy.

• Don’t overcrowd the oil with puri. Add one and press the puri gently with ladle in oil then it will puff up, flip and fry it from both sides.

• Deep fry the sattu ki puri at medium flame in hot oil.
