Method:

1. Mix the flours, salt, 30ml/2 tbsp of the oil and water, milk or buttermilk to make a firm dough. Knead for 10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and leave to rest for 20 minutes.

2. Divide the dough into 12 equal balls and coat them with flour. Roll out to 15cm/6 in circles. Heat the remaining oil in a wok over a high heat. When the oil is hot, gently drop in 1 puri. The puris will sink to the bottom.

3. Hold a spatula over the bread for a few seconds to help it cook then gently press the bread for a few seconds to help it puff up. Once it starts to puff, cook for about 15 seconds then turn it over and cook for a further 10-15 seconds. Drain on kitchen paper while you cook the remaining puris.
