Kangra Puturoo

Puturoos by Sujata Sud Pant

Ingredients:

1. Wheat Flour – 1 kg
2. Sour Buttermilk – 1 ½ cups

Method:

Mix the flour and buttermilk to make a soft dough. Set aside. Once the dough has become light and airy, knead it again. (In the hot summers, the dough can be made with water and left overnight to turn sour and to rise. Alternatively, use yeast to make the dough rise.)

Once the second kneading is done, take small portions and with the hand shape it into thick rotis, leaving them on a piece of clean cloth to rise further for about 1-2 hours depending on the weather.

You can either fry these in hot oil/ghee or cook on a griddle [then they are called thothru].

Puturoos and thothrus can also be stuffed with a spiced urad dal mi or a spiced potato mix. These go well with Teliya Maa, Khatta Kadu and Mitha.
