Cover with a muslin cloth and let it rest for next 10 minutes or so.", "Now heat oil for frying puris in a deep heavy bottom pan over medium heat. Divide the dough into small or medium size pieces.", "Shape each piece into a round ball by rolling in between your palms. Similarly prepare the balls from remaining dough.", "Before rolling out Poori grease rolling pin and surface with a teaspoon of cooking oil.", "Roll out one ball at a time into a small and thin circle. The size of the puri should be small to medium. Make sure not to roll it out too thin or thick.", "Once the oil is sufficiently hot then test by adding a pinch of dough. If it floats to the surface, the oil is sufficiently hot.", "Add one poori at a time and fry gently pressing down with the frying spoon or slotted spoon in a circular motion.", "Turn over when puffed up and fry the poori till golden brown on both sides.
