As long as I can remember, beans and Puri went hand in hand like rice and dhal. Quick, easy and a simple add on to make. For me, its beans and Puri with seconds and then a greedy helping of rice to finish off the meal…This is the way mum dished and we know don’t argue with mum…. :)

2 cups/500ml cake wheat flour/all-purpose flour
2 tbsp. butter or ghee soft but not melted
1 teaspoon. baking powder
3 tbsp. yogurt (optional)
1/2 cup milk room temperature

Instructions

Add the yogurt and the milk, a little at a time to form a soft dough. Knead for a couple of minutes. If the dough is too sticky add a little more flour or if too dry add a little more milk.
Divide the dough into 2 pieces. Roll each piece into 2 logs. Cut each log into 12 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a neat ball. Dust a flat surface with flour and roll the dough into circles, about 3mm thickness. The circle should be about 9cm in diameter.
