Rajgira Puri | Amaranth Flour Puri | Fasting Special Rajgira Poori | Puri
Light, crispy, and naturally gluten-free, Rajgira Puri is a vrat favorite made with rajgira (amaranth) flour and mashed potatoes. This wholesome dough is kneaded soft, then rolled and fried to golden perfection. The result? A beautifully puffed puri with a delicate crunch on the outside and a soft, melt-in-the-mouth texture inside. Perfectly paired with aloo sabzi, yogurt, or a simple bowl of chilled dahi, it’s a nourishing and satisfying meal during fasting days. Nutritious, delicious, and super easy to make.
