About Puri
Puri is a small disc of dough deep-fried until it puffs up. Frying is what makes it so calorie-dense: a single 40 g puri is about 160 kcal, and the standard halwa-puri breakfast of two puris with halwa and chanay is comfortably over 700 kcal.
Tip: Blot puris on kitchen paper before serving — it removes a surprising amount of surface oil.
