This classic North Indian trio is the definition of comfort food. It features Puri (golden, fluffy deep-fried bread), Aloo Sabzi (a spicy, tangy potato gravy), and Boondi Raita (cool, seasoned yogurt). It’s a symphony of textures—crispy, soft, spicy, and cooling—all on one plate.

2. Rest the dough for 15 minutes.
3. Divide into small balls and roll into 3-4 inch circles (don’t make them too thin!).
