    Title: Puri (Fried Puffed Bread Jaffna Style)
    Categories: Breads, Indian
    Yield: 1 Batch

    2 c Whole wheat flour
    1 Green chile; minced
    1 sm Onion; minced
    Salt
    2 tb Grated coconut

    Mix onion and chile with flour, coconut, and salt. Add cool water to
    form a bread-like dough. On an oiled surface, a tray or cookie sheet,
    roll by hand a small amount of dough and flatten it. Fry in a heavy
    skillet on a low fire, 5 minutes on each side. Puris are usually
    served in place of rice, with sambal and or curries. But they may
    also be served in addition to rice, though in South Indian cooking,
    papadam would be used. Papadams are paper thin and deep fry quickly.
    They are purchased rather than made at home. Puri is often served
    with masala potatoes.
