ROTI / PURI - WITH SHINGARA FLOUR( Vrat ka Khana)

During the fasting season Shingara Flour ( water chestnuts flour) is used to make rotis, puris, halwa etc etc.

Ingredients:
Shingara flour ..... 1 cup or as needed
Potato ................. 1 (boiled and mashed)
Rock salt ............ to taste
Crushed black pepper .. 1/4 tsp.
Oil to fry.

Method:

1. Mix the mashed potato, salt, crushed black pepper with the Shingara flour

2. Knead into a hard dough. The mashed potato should be sufficient for kneading. If required just sprinkle very little water. Be very careful otherwise the dough gets soft and difficult to handle.

3. Roll out small puris. The dough is like bajra or jowar, if you find it difficult to roll, just pat with your hands on the board using dry flour and lift with a spatula. You can also use plastic paper to roll in between the sheets.

4. Deep fry the puris in hot oil. If you like rotis you can roast them on a griddle applying ghee or oil.

5. Remove them on a paper tissue to remove excess oil.
