How to Make Ghee-Based Kuttu Puri with Aloo
Step 1: Mix the Dough
Stir flour and salt in a bowl. Rub in the Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee until pebbly. Splash in water, little by little, until it clumps into a soft ball. Cover and let it rest for 10 minutes.
Step 2: Prep the Potato
Smash the potato well. Sprinkle in cumin and pepper. Add the chopped chilli and coriander. Taste and tweak the salt. This filling pumps up a simple ghee recipe.
Step 3: Shape Your Puris
Tear off 8 dough bits. Roll them into balls. Flatten each into a small disc. Spoon in the aloo mix. Pull edges up and seal. Ease it back into a 4-inch circle.
Step 4: Fry in Pure Ghee
Warm a good slick of pure ghee in a deep pan. Test with a scrap of dough, it should dance and rise. Slide in one puri. Flip once it puffs and browns, about 30 sec per side. Drain on paper.
Step 5: Plate and Dive In
Stack these warm kuttu aloo puri on a plate. Serve at once with chutney or spiced yogurt. Perfect as a fast recipe or Janmashtami bhog recipe.
A handful of fibre from buckwheat meets the rich, creamy taste of pure ghee. Nutralite Doodhshakti Pure Ghee is enriched with Vitamin A. Each bite feels festive, nourishing, and true to cooking with ghee.
