Verki Puri is also known as Layered Farsi Puri, Padvali Farsi Poori, Lachedar Mathri, Salty crunchy flaky deep-fried Indian crisps. It is one type of Mathri made in Gujarati style. It is easy to make with simple available kitchen ingredients.

To make Layered Farsi Puri, we are using all-purpose flour, ghee, and water seasoned with salt and black pepper powder for mild spiciness and flavoring.

Variations:

  • You can add other seasoning ingredients like Carom seeds, Cumin seeds, sesame seeds, Dried fenugreek leaves, dried mint leaves, garlic powder, chaat masala.
  • You can make Padvali Farsi Puri recipe from whole wheat flour or a combination of half maida and half whole wheat atta.
  • The Sweet version of Verki Puri is called Chiroti or Padhir Peni. It is also a Festive special snack popular across Maharashtra, Telangana, and Karnataka.

Note: 

  • Always fry on medium-low flame. If you fry on high flame, then it will start to burn from outside and will be uncooked from inside.
  • Please do not skip adding ghee while kneading the dough. It will help to achieve flakiness in puri. Do not replace it with oil.

Why do I prefer to make Layered Farsi Puri at home rather than buying from the market?

I always prefer homemade snacks because I choose the high quality of ingredients, no preservatives, no food color, and good quality of the oil. These homemade snacks, therefore, are healthy and hygienic too. 

Storage:

I usually make the layered farsi puri recipe in bulk, and when it cools down completely, store it in an airtight container at room temperature. It stays fresh for up to 2-3 weeks. So, I can munch on it anytime.
