1)Palak puri ( Spinach Puri ):
Pluck, clean and wash the spinach leaves. Discard the stalks. Boil in water until tender. Place over a colander and drain well. Sift together the flour, chilli, coriander powder and salt. Rub in the ghee gently with fingertips. Mix in the boiled and mashed spinach, ginger paste and cumin seeds. Pour in a little water and make a stiff dough. Knead the dough gently for a few minutes. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 10 minutes. Knead the dough, divide into equal parts, shape each into a ball and roll into a round of even thickness. Heat the oil in a kadai and deep fry the puris one at a time and serve hot.
2)Batata puri( Potato Puri ):
Peel and mash the potatoes to a smooth paste. Add the maida, coriander, green chillies, cumin, salt and ghee and mix thoroughly. Pour in the milk and knead the dough well. Set aside for 45 minutes. Roll into small puris and deep fry in hot oil. Serve hot.
