1 | cup | Unbleached All-Purpose Flour |
1 | cup | Whole Wheat Flour |
⅔ | cup | Water |
1 | tablespoon | Melted Butter Or Ghee |

Directions
Cooking Time: 40 Minutes
Place the flours in a bowl, add enough of the water to make a soft pliable dough. Add the melted butter, knead until smooth. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth, leave in a warm place for one hour. Divide into 16 pieces and, using a little oil on the hands, shape into balls. Grease the rolling pin and board with oil, roll each ball into a thin pancake. Heat the ghee until smoking hot, place a puri in the frying pan. Turn immediately and press with a fish slice (slotted spatula or pancake turner) until the puri puffs up. Cook until golden. Drain on absorbent paper, serve as soon as possible.
