Pumpkin Puri | Kadu ki Puri Recipe

Pumpkin is an extremely nutrient-dense food, meaning it is chock-full of vitamins and minerals but low in calories.There are many creative ways pumpkin can be incorporated into meals, including desserts, soups, salads, preserves, and even as a substitute for butter. So, I have tried this Pumpkin Puris that every body likes and nobody recognised.

Yellow Pumpkin – 2 cups grated
Gram flour – 1/4 cup
Ajwain/ Carom seeds – 2 tsp

1. Wash, peel and grate the pumpkin.
2. In a large bowl add wheat flour, gram flour, grated pumpkin.
3. Add carom seeds, salt to taste, green chilli and 3 Tbsp of oil. Mix well.

5. Cover and rest the dough for 10 minutes. Knead the dough again.
6. Make small ball of a dough and roll them into small puris of 3 inch.
7. Heat oil in a kadhai and deep fry the puris on both sides until golden brown and puffed up.
