Delicious Indian Fry Bread

By Sebastian Manning


I have not been to India myself however thanks to the world becoming a smaller place and the multiculturalism of my community I had the opportunity to enjoy many toothsome Indian foods.

A lot of people think about spicy curry when they imagine Indian cuisine, but when I like to think of Indian cooking the very first thing that suggests itself is always the bread. "The traditional name for Indian Fry Bread is Puri.

Some places in India reserve the weekend breakfast as the most suitable time to partake of this flavorful treat. Usually a member of the family will voyage to the most popular Sweet Shop,eg Bengali Sweets in Punjab, armed with numerous empty vessels or 'Tiffin'. The sweet shop fry the bread fresh and then add a wonderful selection of gravy's to the Tiffin. Each of these gravies has a completely unique taste. Some are of the same texture and consistency as a rich curry and others are way more soup-like.

The puri is used to scoop, dip or douse the contents of the Tiffin. The experience is a wonderful treat and sweet shops are always jam packed with customers each weekend

I'm going to be sharing a wonderful Indian fry bread recipe with you today.

It's completely straightforward to make, chances are high that you already have all the needed ingredients.

Short list of Ingredients:

Three quarter cups water

Two cups all-purpose flour

One tablespoon. Veg oil

1/2 tsp. Salt

2 tsp. Baking powder

Preparation Instructions in Making Indian Fry Bread

Combine the flour, baking powder and the salt into a medium size bowl.

Add in the water and the oil, mix everything together completely to form the dough.

Once you've a chunk of dough, remove smaller golf-ball sized pieces and flatten them on the counter. Splatter some flour on the bench-top to be sure the dough can't stick.

Flatten each smaller piece of dough; you can make a hole in the middle to make this bread more like a doughnut.

Heat up your favorite cooking oil (About 3/4 in. deep) and fry every part of dough for a minute or 2, till they become golden brown. The best temperature is somewhere around medium, you can adjust accordingly if your dough becomes burnt before golden brown.

There you have it, exquisite Indian fry bread made in the comfort of your own home! I am hoping you enjoyed this bread recipe; it's a bit different to most of the ones that I customarily make.
