For Gol Gappas (Puris):

¼ cup flour (60 gms)
½ cup fine semolina (Sooji) (140 gms)
½ cup Water (125 gms)
Oil for deep frying

Method:
1. Mix flour, semolina together with fingers using normal water and make hard dough. Keep it covered for an hour with a damp cloth.
2. Make very little balls from the dough (around 50) and roll them using the rolling pin. Keep balls under a damp cloth and once you roll them, put the rolled ones covered with another damp cloth.
3. Heat oil and fry them gently, press down on them with a slotted spoon to encourage them to puff properly.

Tip: Tilt each gol gappa a bit when taking them out from oil so that excess oil drains out of them.
