6. Serve hot with puri.

Instructions for Puri:

1. In a large bowl, mix together flour, salt, and ghee.
2. Add water little by little and knead until you get a soft and smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.
3. Divide the dough into small equal-sized balls.
4. Roll each ball into a thin circle, about 3-4 inches in diameter.
5. Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat.
6. Once the oil is hot, gently slide the puri into the oil and press it down with a slotted spoon. This will help it puff up.

8. Use a slotted spoon to remove the puri from the oil and place it on a paper towel to remove any excess oil.
