This easy to make crispy delicious puri or poori is delicious served with curries or syrup.

  1. I use ghee to fry these puffy fellows; did you use normal cooking oil?

  3. Would these be the same as papadums? I've never made either but they look really similar and the spices look like what I've tasted in a papadum. If not, how are they different? They sure look tasty!
