Making delicate, flakey and decadent Banana Puri - The recipe everyone always asks for!

Hi all - the third and final recipe from Hazel (for now - remember my challenge to all the viewers!) is a much requested but more complex recipe to make - Banana puri. This recipe results in banana puri so delicately flakey that they literally melt in your mouth - well worth the effort to make!
Ingredients
For the banana puri
2 cups flour
Pinch of salt
1 &1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tbs ghee
1 cup cool tap water with 1 tsp lemon juice added in
For layering
~1 cup ghee
~1 cup maizena (corn flour)
Oil to fry
Allow up to 24 hours to drain excess oil before decorating
Decoration
Icing sugar for dusting
Coconut or almond toppings
Makes approximately 60 banana puris if using 2 doughs with each having 4 roti layers.
Serve with a nice cup of tea or in combination with Gulabs and Laddoos!

watching Hazel rolling perfect circles by applying pressure on individual sides of the rolling pin was an amazing demonstration. Very skilled.

[@WaseemKhan-zc2kt]

As a single dad of a teenage son....this helped me greatly to treat my son by my own handiwork. There's more value in this than buying from the shops. Thanks for this at least he won't miss his mothers touch.

I have been an avid baker for years, your detailed instructions on the Banana puri from Hazel was amazing. Hazel was very honest with her instructions. i have not found anyone that have given these details previously ...thank you and happy baking

[@hazelgovender4813]

Thank you. I really appreciate your comments. I tried for many years learning how to make banana puri....many were failed attempts. Until one day it just worked. I followed many instructions and formulated the simplest way I could. I honestly believe that sharing techniques and giving basic tips will encourage more bakers.

This video appeared on my time line and I just had to watch it . Lovely well presented video , it’s a time consuming pastry to make yet very indulgent . Iv been making banana puri for a good 10 years and had been asked numerous times to make a video and now u made it easy for me I’ll just direct those inquiring to your KZbin channel ! Well done not many people can perfect this that’s what makes it a much coveted pastry .

Wow, I have never eaten or seen this type of puri before! My question here is why is it called banana puri when there was none? I enjoy watching this video the puri looked so delicious! Thankyou gor sharing it with us!

[@GaithreeDeviLuckan]

We have a leaning towards the fact that banana flowers have multiple layers that open up over time similar to the layers on this banana puri

[@NansGlobalKitchen]

@@GaithreeDeviLuckan Oh okay, yes that is very true! We have a small banana tree in our backyard. I have to tell my daughter about this! I remember my grandmother cooking them when I was little. We cook the drumstick from the moringa tree as well.Thankyou so much.for this knowledge!
