Crispy Semolina Puff (Tea Time Snack)
Recipe by bharatzkitchen HINDI
A crunchy, flaky puff made only with semolina (suji), ghee and a few Indian spices. No wheat flour or maida is used – the dough is built from hot‑water‑infused semolina, layered with ghee and lightly fried in low‑heat oil so it puffs up perfectly. Ideal to serve with tea.
