Farsi Khaman Puri / Poori – Deep Fried Spicy Crackers

Farsi Khaman Puri, another creation of mine, flavourful and delicious!  Inspired by my favourite Diwali snacks such Farsi Puri , Methi Farsi Puri and Khaman Dhokla. My take on these lip-smacking crisp Farsi Khaman Puri made with Plain flour, gram flour and spices.
FARSI KHAMAN POORI IN A METAL TIN PLACED ON HARRY POTTER BOOK
Diwali seems to close, I am sure many of you are grossly underprepared to keep up to an expectation of the celebrations and just hit the panic button. But with time management, by involving family members to share your tasks, we can make up for the lost time and can have great festival celebrations. I always make a list of errands and try to stick to my plan.

I finish Diwali cleaning well before even Navratri Celebration starts, and maintain cleanliness in the house. I plan our Diwali menu beforehand and buy all the necessary items in advance and make my job lot easier on the event day, and start preparing snacks for Diwali 3-4 days ago. So far I am on schedule, I have already prepared Suwari, and this morning I prepared Farsi Khaman Puri, in next couple of days I have planned to prepare one or two sweets, stay tuned 🙂

Farsi Khaman Puri, is easy to prepare, make sure you fry them on very low heat. These puris can be savoured at tea time with hot beverages or at any time as snacks, surely it will be enjoyed by young and old.

Notes:-
These puris will not stay fresh for a long time like normal farsi Puri would be as it contains fresh ingredients such as coriander, chillies and ginger.
Make sure to fry these on low heat, so it cooks inside properly.

The recipe sounds delish.. plan to make this diwali :) just a few doubts - how many puris did this recipe turn out for? Also don't the folded triangles open while frying? Did you flatten them further after the triangles?

Thank you Megs for your comment. I would say about 20-22, depends how big you make :) Just lightly press the triangle and press the edges as well. When you spread the filling make sure you spreed it evenly as well and there should no problem. Hope this helps :)
