For puri in this recipe, we can either use the store bought or we can easily bake these at home which adds some extra minutes to the recipe. Also once you create a batch of these baked puri you can keep them in an air tight container easily for about 2 weeks.
You can also make these puri using rava/sooji flour, chickpea flour, all purpose flour or even using whole wheat flour or multigrain flour. Traditionally, these are made with all purpose flour and deep fried. The one used in this recipe are made with mix of whole grain flour and sooji(rava) and are baked instead of frying. You need to add rava either when you are using all purpose flour to make these puris crunchy instead of soft like tortillas !
When you have the puri ready then the next thing in making aloo sev puri is just assembling the dish together. This recipe is also a go-to snack option if you have all ingredients at home since it comes together in just a few minutes.
