Anyone can crave for hot, puffed puri on a plate. The problem with eating it is that oil starts dripping from the puri, which can spoil the appetite of many people. If you are also one of those people who feel like eating puri, but you are not able to eat it because of the oil. If this happens to you too, then this video is for you. You can enjoy puri and at the same time avoid eating oily food.
We all know that Indians have a unique talent of Jugaad, and we complete our tasks easily. A video of one such woman has surfaced, which is no less than a boon for those who like Puri. In the video, a woman shows how to fry puri in a pan without using much oil. People are both surprised and happy after watching this video, because it shows a very easy but unique way of frying puri.
In the video, the woman heats oil in a pan and then adds two simple ingredients into it. When they are fried whole, they become soft and almost oil-free. Many people are surprised as to how this can happen. Basically, the woman first adds a pinch of salt to the oil and then inserts two toothpicks. These two things together prevent the puris from absorbing too much oil. When puris are fried, the moisture in the flour causes the oil to foam. This foam forces the puris to absorb more oil. However, adding a little salt to the oil reduces the foaming process. This keeps the oil straight and the puris do not absorb much oil. The advantage of inserting toothpicks is that they prevent the salt from the oil from reaching the puris. This means that the salt only affects the oils, not making them more salty. This way, the puris taste normal but absorb less oil.
This video was shared on Instagram with an account named radhikamaroo123. At the time of writing, it has been viewed by millions of people, and the comments section is flooded with feedback. Many users said that this recipe worked for them, and the puris turned out to be really light and oil-free.
