Now, knead the dough into a smooth texture by adding rock salt and the required water. Make sure the dough is not too sticky, as this could make it difficult to roll out the puris properly.

Cover the dough with a thin plastic sheet and let it rest for at least 30 minutes. This helps the dough become more manageable and easier to shape.

After the dough has rested, divide it into equal-sized small balls. Sprinkle some flour on the rolling board to prevent the puris from sticking and roll each ball into a round shape.

Carefully slide poori into hot oil & fry it until it puffs up. Flip it over and fry both sides until golden & crispy. Once done, place the puris on paper towels to absorb the excess oil.
