Puris are a type of Indian fried bread that are typically eaten for breakfast or brunch. They are a common street food in India and are also made for special occasions and festivals. They are often served with potato sabzi, aloo matar, or chana masala, and can also be eaten with sweet dishes like suji ka halwa or shrikhand. Puris are easy to make and can be customized by adding different herbs and spices to the dough, such as ajwain or cumin seeds.

Instructions

1.	In a large bowl, mix the whole wheat flour, all-purpose flour, and salt together.
2.	Add in the ghee or vegetable oil and mix until it is well combined with the flour.
3.	Gradually add water and knead the dough until it becomes a smooth and firm ball.
4.	Divide the dough into small portions and roll each portion into a thin round disc.
5.	Heat oil in a deep frying pan and once it is hot, add the rolled puris into the oil and fry until they turn golden brown in color.
6.	Drain the fried puris onto a paper towel to remove excess oil.
7.	Serve hot with a side of potato sabzi or chana masala.
