Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
Pinch of salt
1 and 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 tbsp. ghee
1 cup iced water with 1 tsp. lemon juice
Method:
To a deep bowl, add all the dry ingredients and combine well. Add the ghee and mix well. Add the lemon juice into the iced water and mix. Gradually add the iced water into the dry ingredients. Bring the dough into a dough ball and cling wrap it. Leave it in the refrigerator overnight. Remove dough from the refrigerator. Divide dough into 8 dough balls. Roll into 35.6 cm rotis.
For layering:
1 cup melted ghee
1 cup corn flour
Paste:
3 tbsp. all-purpose flour
Cold water
Add water to flour and make a thick paste.
For the syrup:
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 tbsp. rose water
1 tsp. rose essence
In a pot, combine the above ingredients and mix well. Boil until syrup slightly thickens. Set aside.
Method:
Remove dough from the refrigerator an hour before starting the process. Divide dough into 8 dough balls. Roll into paper-thin large rotis
(35 cm).
Place the first roti and smear ghee onto the roti and sprinkle corn flour. Continue until the last roti is placed. Now, gently roll the roti into a large 70 cm roti. Cut out edges. Smear ghee and sprinkle corn flour. Apply paste on the edges. Now, firmly fold this large roti in a swiss roll. Cut into 2 or 3 cm. Take 1 piece and flatten it to 12-13 cm in length. (Do not turn the pieces. Flatten as is). Continue with all the pieces.
Be very patient when frying:
Deep fry. Add vegetable oil to a pot and heat on medium. Test with a piece of the dough. When the dough springs up, the oil is ready.
Using 2 forks. Fry on medium to low heat.
Place 1 piece of the flattened dough in the oil. Allow the banana puri to open very gently with the help of the forks. Fry until lightly golden. Using a slotted spoon to remove from the oil and place on a thick layer of paper towel. Continue the process and leave for absorption of oil. 24 hours will be just fine.
Decor time:
Remove from the paper towel and place on a wire rack. Drizzle the syrup and a good dusting of glitter.
SUPER DELICIOUS!
Note:
When rolling each piece of dough, gently roll from the top.
Drizzle Syrup Over The Banana Puri!
It’s time to add the sweet finishing touch. Using a spoon, gently drizzle the golden syrup over each banana puri, letting it soak in and coat every curve and fold. This simple act transforms the puris from everyday treats into indulgent ones. As the syrup seeps in, it creates a glossy sheen and infuses a rich sweetness that makes every bite irresistible. Take your time with this step—watch the syrup glisten, filling your kitchen with its tempting aroma, and savor the anticipation of tasting these soft, syrupy wonders.
Once drizzled, carefully place each banana puri on a wire rack. This allows any excess syrup to drip away, preventing sogginess, while keeping the puris perfectly soft and ready to enjoy or serve.
