--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2               cups  whole wheat flour
  2               cups  flour
  1           teaspoon  salt
     1/4           cup  butter -- (1/2 stick) melted
  1 1/3           cups  water -- (approx.)
                        oil for deep frying
 

Preparation:

Combine the flours and salt in a large mixing bowl. Make a hollow in the center and pour in the melted butter. Add the water gradually, kneading the mixture, until a firm dough is formed. Continue to knead for 5-10 minutes longer. Cover with a damp cloth and set aside for 15 minutes. Divide the dough into 18 pieces and roll each into a thin circle, 4-5 inches in diameter. Fry the puris, one at a time, in the hot oil. After a few seconds they will puff up. Hold down in the oil with the back of a spoon and remove when they are crisp and golden. Drain on paper towels.
