In a wide bowl, mix maida, ghee, salt and knead into a stiff dough adding water gradually. We used about 1/4 cup water.
Dough should not be soft and smooth. It should be same as that of a puri. Add little oil and knead the dough again. Cover and set aside for 15-20 minutes.
For the Paste
In a bowl, mix ghee, rice flour and corn flour. Whisk well.
Mix all the dry spice powders - black salt, hing, black pepper powder, jeera powder and chaat masala.
Add this spice mix to the ghee+rice flour+corn flour mix. Mix well and keep aside.
Preparing Puris
After resting time, knead the dough with few drops of oil and divide in 3 equal parts and make balls out of it.
Roll out each ball into a big round (big sized roti). Prepare 3 rotis.
Now take 1 roti and apply ghee-flour mixture and spread evenly on it. Place 2nd roti on it and apply ghee-flour mixture over it. Now, place the third roti and apply the ghee-flour mixture.
Then roll them up. With the help of a knife, cut small pieces of the roll. These will now look like mini swiss rolls.
Take a piece that we had cut from that roll on a rolling pin. Press it lightly with your palm and roll into a small disc shape (puri shape). Roll it gently.
In the same manner, prepare all the other puris.
Heat oil for frying puris. Fry the prepared puris till light golden and crisp.
Fry in batches, do not over crowd the frying pan. Remove on an absorbent paper.
Once cooled, store them in an air-tight container.
