Default Saffron Puri - a Delicious crisp sweet puri !

Maida - 1 cup

Cashewnuts - 35gms

Powdered sugar - ½ cup

Saffron – a good pinch

Butter - marble size

Salt - a very tiny pinch

Powder sugar very fine.

Sieve maida & sugar & keep.

Soak cashews & saffron in minimum hot milk.

When well soaked grind fine.

Mix powdered sugar, ground paste, salt & maida to a stiff dough, adding little more maida, if necessary.

Roll big chappathis & cut into small puri.

Deep fry in ghee ( or a mixture of oil & ghee) on a very low fire till completely cooked & crisp.

Note:

I used a puri-press & found it very convenient.

It is soft when we take out after frying, but becomes crisp shortly.
