AI Summary
UB's Puri is a recipe for Indian fried bread made with chapati flour, warm water, butter ghee, and salt, which is kneaded into a soft dough, rolled out, and fried in hot oil. The cooking method involves frying the puris for approximately 30 seconds on each side in oil heated to around 180 degrees Celsius. While some participants express concerns about the health implications of fried foods and inquire about variations in preparation, there is no clear consensus or resolution on the recipe or its execution.

I had a puri out of my local T/A last night. I would swear the sauce was just Maggi chilli sauce, & mango chutney pureed together!
