How to Make Independence Day Special Tiranga Puri

  1. Steam 1 cup of fresh spinach for 4 minutes in the microwave.
  2. Blend the steamed spinach into a smooth puree.
  3. Set the spinach puree aside.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons ghee (clarified butter).
  5. Gradually add plain water, mixing until a soft dough forms. Set aside.
  6. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons ghee, and the spinach puree. Mix until a soft, green dough forms. Set aside.
  7. In another bowl, combine 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons ghee, and 1/4 cup tomato puree. Mix until a soft, red dough forms. Set aside.
  8. Cover all three doughs and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  9. Once chilled, roll out each dough into a long, thin strip.
  10. Carefully braid the three colored dough strips together to create a single, tri-colored strand.
  11. Cut the braided dough into small, equal-sized balls.
  12. Roll each ball into a thin, round puri.
  13. Heat oil in a deep pan or kadai to medium-high heat.
  14. Carefully drop the puris into the hot oil, a few at a time.
  15. Fry until golden brown and puffed up, flipping halfway through.
  16. Remove the puris from the oil and drain on paper towels.
  17. Serve hot with your favorite chutney or curry. Enjoy your Independence Day celebration!
