Table of Content
The ingredients provide ample protein, fibre and other heart-friendly nutrients, all in a low-fat, low-sodium package. The puris have very little salt, but thanks to the use of spice powders, you will never realise this.
Not only that, these puris are not deep-fried but baked for just 15 minutes. This reduces the fat content, thereby reducing the risk of blood clotting too. Store these crunchy puris in an air-tight container, to snack on when you are hungry, or to make chaats and other starters out of it.

I always thought making a delectable dish with less salt is more difficult than with less or no sugar. But this proved me wrong... I served these puris to my father who is a diabetic hypertensive and he loved them. I make these puris quite often from him now.
