Introduce the recipe and mention the use of half whole wheat flour and half flour tortilla mix.

List the ingredients needed for the puff puris, including the Quaker brand flour tortilla mix.

Explain how to make a homemade flour tortilla mix if not available.

Combine 1 cup of whole wheat flour and 1 cup of flour tortilla mix in a bowl.

Add salt to taste and cumin seeds to the dry ingredients.

Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the mixture and mix well.

Gradually add water while kneading the dough until it's soft but slightly harder than chapati dough.

Cover the dough and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.

After resting, take a golf-sized ball of dough and flatten it slightly to make rolling easier.

Roll the dough into a puri, making it a little thicker than a chapati for better puffing.

Heat oil in a frying pan for frying the puris.

Carefully place the rolled puri into the hot oil and fry, turning it quickly to prevent over-browning.

Watch the puri puff up and remove it from the oil once golden brown.

Serve the puff puris with chole or other Indian curries.
