Kasuri Methi Puri is a regional variation of the classic Indian deep‑fried bread, flavored with dried fenugreek leaves that are popular in North Indian households. The herb adds a distinctive aroma and is traditionally used in festive snacks and travel meals.

In Punjab, the puri may include a pinch of ajwain and extra ghee for richness, while in Gujarat, a touch of sugar and turmeric is added for a slightly sweet hue. Some coastal versions replace kasuri methi with fresh fenugreek leaves.

It is commonly served hot with tangy mango pickle, mint‑coriander chutney, or a side of spiced potato sabzi. It also pairs well with a cup of strong chai for a hearty breakfast.

These puris are popular during road trips, picnics, and festive gatherings like Diwali or Holi, where a portable, crunchy snack is appreciated. They are also made for family brunches on weekends.

The addition of kasuri methi, roasted cumin, and a hint of yogurt gives the puri a fragrant, slightly tangy flavor and a deeper golden color, setting it apart from the plain, neutral‑tasting puri.

Common errors include using a dough that is too soft, not resting the dough, rolling the puris too thick, and frying at a temperature lower than 180°C. Each of these results in dense or soggy puris.

Yogurt adds a slight tang and tenderness, helping the puri stay crisp while giving a subtle richness that plain water‑based dough lacks.

Yes. You can fry the puris, let them cool, and store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or refrigerate for longer. Reheat briefly in hot oil or a 180°C oven to restore crunch.

The puri should puff quickly, turn a uniform golden‑brown, and have a crisp, flaky texture. The surface should be slightly glossy from the oil but not greasy.

When the puri rises, turns golden‑brown on both sides, and floats to the surface within 30‑40 seconds, it is done. A quick taste should reveal a crunchy bite without any raw flour taste.
