The Housewife Recipe Book - Chana Puri: A classic Mauritian Snack - Page 33
Hello lovely foodies of the steemit world!
Welcome to another page of The Housewife Recipe Book! The 33rd page of today will be my contribution in the Friday Foodies contest organized by the lovely and supportive @maryfavour! This is my 2nd time entering this new contest! Do check out @maryfavour blog for more info!
So today I will show you how to make a very tasty but not so healthy classical Mauritian snack named Chana Puri! If I am not mistaken this snack originates from India, if anyone knows would be great to get some more info on it!
Chana Puri
To make these yummy fried snacks, you will need:
- Flour
- Yeast
- Salt
- Water
- Potato
- Yellow split peas
- Coriander leaves
- Cumin powder
- Turmeric powder
- Garlic paste
You have to start by making the dough which is like a thick pancake batter!
Mix the flour with salt and yeast!
Add warm water till you have a like a thick pancake batter!
This is how the batter will look after adding the warm water!
Let it rest for about 2 hours in room temperature!
In the meantime, put the potato and yellow split peas to cook in little salted water!
Once cooked, crush it with a spoon or fork and add turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander leaves, garlic paste and season with little salt!
Put the mixture back on fire till it is well dry!
When dried up, make small balls with the potato-yellow split peas mixture and reserve!
After the 2 hour rest, this is how the batter will look like!
Ready to cook!
Put the small balls on the batter and coat them with the batter with your hand!
Put one by one to fry in hot oil!
They cook quite rapidly! And they don't need to have too much coloration, the whiter they are the better!
Once cooked, put on kitchen paper to drain the excess oil!
Eat as soon as possible with a hot chutney!
Bon Apetit my friends!

Hello, my friend @creativewoman. Your 2nd entry came in quite early. I'm still preparing the post for selection of winners for the 1st contest. Hopefully, I'll finish working on that tonight so that I can be free to create the Friday foodie 2 post for tomorrow.
I would also do my best to enter for @steemit-ironchef's contest next week.
Thanks for sharing this new recipe-Chana Puri. Instead of deep frying, I'll try to see if I can make it using my new airfryer. Steem on!
