Baked palak methi puris

I am a member of Tarla Dalal recipes. So every week I receive some recipes via an email. Some of them are worth a try .
I received this one just a few days back and I really felt like trying it. The following is howevr my version of the recipe. Since fresh methi was not available , I used Kasuri methi. The original one had less masalas so I added a few.
Here it goes
  • 1 cup freshly chopped palak
  • 1 tsp kasuri methi ( use 1/2 cup frshly grated methi is available)
  • 1 cup jowar flour
  • 1 cup bajra flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp jeera
  • 1 tsp ajwain ( owa)
  • 1 tsp coriander powder
  • 3 to 4 green chillies fineley chopped
  • 1/2 tsp chopped ginger
  • 2 tsp oil
  • 1/2 cup curd
  • Salt to taste
  • a pinch of baking powder
Method:-
  1. In a bowl mix all the above ingredients and knead into a dough.
  2. Preheat oven to 180 degree Celcius (350 Fahrenheit) .
  3. Make small balls and roll them into think puris.
  4. Grease a baking sheet and place the puris on them.
  5. Bake them for 15 to 20 mins or till crispy.
  6. Store in a airtight conatiner.
Tips:-
  1. If the dough feels very hard , add some buttermilk.
  2. If you dnt want to bake the puris, you can alternatively deep fry them like normal puris.
