The one thing that bothers me much is wastage and when i saw a clump of Leek and Celery leaves that was beginning to turn unusable i almost went in to a frenzy. Thankfully a good portion could still be recovered .
My daughter had wanted Puris with Potato Masala for lunch and i immediately warmed up to the idea going green with the puris . This combined with the goodness of carom seeds (ajwain) in the dough made the green puris much liked. With the patato masala the puris was a hit !
Potato Masala :-
A very lovely accompaniment to puris and rotis, potato masala in a semi solid form is also very simple to make! I have also blogged about this in one of my earliest posts

My daughter had wanted Puris with Potato Masala for lunch and i immediately warmed up to the idea going green with the puris . This combined with the goodness of carom seeds (ajwain) in the dough made the green puris much liked. With the patato masala the puris was a hit !
so here’s my recipe:-
Ingredients:-
- Wheat Flour – 1 cup
- Celery leaves ( handful of all the greens)
- Leek leaves
- Coriander leaves
- Carom seeds (ajwain) – 1 1/2 tsp
- Salt – to taste
- Sugar – 1/2 tsp (optional)
- Asafoetida – a pinch
- water – as required
- Oil – a little
How:-
Wash the leaves well, roughly chop and grind it to a paste with little water.
In a mixing bowl add the wheat flour along with the ground paste. Add the carom seeds, salt, asafoetida and knead it well with required water. Add a little oil to make it to a soft dough.
Take a small quantity and spread it across dusting with flour if necessary.
Deep fry the puris till crispy and serve hot.
I also made phulkas with the dough. Sadly it vanished before i could take pictures !

I saw puris sold in the grocery mart the other day, now I know I can eat that with potato masala ;)
Very creative Priya!
Flavorful and yummy puris,pass me the plate please
Innovative idea dear..colorful and tempting puris
Nice colorful and delicious pooris and potato masala.
I would not even mind the deep fried stuff as it is packed with the healthiest greens and carom is my favorite. Brillinat use of greens Priya,and the aloo masala is the perfect combination to go with these pooris:)
Ajwain adds a nice flavour isnt..great idea..
Very Creative Priya…I too hate to see waste. You are inspiring me to find something different in the kitchen for dinner :)
