I’m a Mauritian living in london and for years been trying make dalpuri which is as close as Mauritian street food dalpuri. Amazing receipe. I’ve just added some turmeric whilst the dal was boiling and used the water for the dough to get the yellow colour. Thank you so much for posting this video!

[@Metemgee]

Oh that’s brilliant. I’ll try that next time. Glad you liked it. I might rename this Mauritian Dalpuri 😆

[@k.cadwallader239]

Hi I'm from Mauritius as well living in U.k.. i made dhal puri during this lockdown.....delicious. I use tumeric as well, as in Mauritius we like the dhal puri slighly yellow. I only add salt and freshlly roasted ground cummin seeds in the dhal and we do not use yeast in the flour. It is interesting to see how it is made in different part of the world. Thank you for the video.

[@anitabaker9616]

You made the puri exactly how I love it and guess what? I tried it for the first time and it was perfect. Your explanation was on point. Thank you for teaching me how to make puri.

This recipe still rocks even though it was posted a few years ago. Thank you for being honest and authentic.

[@sarbenjy]

My mum used to make great roti and I was always upset that I never learned from her. Now I've found your channel I will definitely give it a go. Thank you and lots of love from the uk

[@earthangel3503]

Please please don't ever take down your channel, I just found it today, n I love it! You make me think about back home! 😌 Thank you💚

[@rabeyamunshi4315]

Thanks for the recipe. We ate this dal Puri 35 years ago in our maternal grandparents house. They're no longer. We miss them and miss this Dal Puri. Since we live in America there is no we can have this and don't know how to make. I feel so emotional to see this easy recipe. Again thanks to you and my grandparents.

[@saibalbhowmick9805]

Please go through tanvir paksala - u will be able to see the best original form of it - because this purely an Indian recipe - if you want the real taste of it, you may search it on you tube - sorry if I have disturbed you - bye

[@deborahanglin8373]

Sorry to hear about your grand parents. Hope you try this recipe.

[@marieburr6073]

OMG Im Mauritian living currently in England.I just saw this and thought it was a dhall Puri making from Mauritius cause it looks exactly the same. Woow amazing! In every corners of every streets in Mauritius they have dhall puri sellers. A lot of times during peak hours you have people queuing to buy. Inside the dhall puris they put a choices of spicy sauces or curries and the famous fresh chillies. Thank you sooo much for this video! Its nice to know other parts of the world share the same street foods, exactly the same. Remind me of home...

[@Metemgee]

It’s so interesting how on the other side of the world we share a common thread through food. We serve ours with curry or with a chutney we call mango sour.

[@hemchanddurball5229]

Marie Burr, it is our common bhojpuri culture from our Indian Ancestors. Metemgee, great job..dhalpuri looks delicious but first time I am seeing your technique of grinding the split peas. I use an old fashion mill to grind.

[@ruksharmutty2356]

In Mauritius, it is so famous, we even have it with chicken curries called kaalia. Every street you will find a dhall puri vendor, it is an everyday staple for every mauritian

i grew up in Trinidad and i tried so many times ,countless, countless times,i finally got it correct this time ,My rotis even puffed up when i was cooking,,,so nice and soft.which i had learnt how to make them before leaving Trinidad at age 14

[@bonafidesmooth]

For real. As a Guyanese, it's something I love but never looked into how it's made 😂

[@Chilicrabby]

My husband is Guyanese and I’m Cambodian. His mother is a wonderful cook and lives about 6hrs away, he misses her food so I’ve been trying my best to learn how to cook Guyanese food. Thanks for this recipe! I’ve subscribed.

[@thehoylecakefiles8675]

Thank u soooo much... I’m a southern girl with island ties... just have no clue which one. My ancestor is Ms Mary Reddick & that’s all I know about her, but these loves and flavors of the Caribbean are strong in me, for real. I could eat curries and jerk and Dahl puri ALL day Errry day. I didn’t have access to an island grandma, ma, or auntie to show me how to make these... so THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing us how to do this.

[@shanellbrowne2816]

I feel like a professional now that I have tried your dal recipe and it came out great my whole family enjoyed it thank you so much

You’re welcome

[@luckyram3461]

Making dhalpuri is an art , after having tried for about 20 years , I have given up , but watching your video makes me feel like I will give it another go . Am also from Mauritius living in U.K & this one of the food we really miss here & just like you it's a food on the go, every one loves in Mauritius. Never thought it was loved also in Trinidad. Thanks a lot for sharing my dear. Kind regards LR

I know exactly what you mean by ‘school time’, tuck shop dhol puri, my older sister would sometimes purchase from Central High school and I can still recall how good they tasted, even after all these years, so thanks for your recipe.

[@Metemgee]

That's exactly what I mean. There was something different about the dhal puri we got at school or on the street versus the one my mom made!

[@hadassahgittens7007]

[@Metemgee]

Yay! Thank you for trying. It took me years to crack the code on this type of Dhal Puri. Glad you tried it.

[@alfulci6914]

Nothing can compete with the exquisite grubby taste of those old timey Guyanese school vendors, chicken foot, flutie, poulourie, crush ice, ice block, dhal Poori etc...not even gourmet restaurants can achieve that quality, I'm sure they dig their behind and put it in there but it's all good

[@brendasydney3]

A Trinidadian who always wanted to see how Dhal Puri was made. I love it, taste wonderful with curry mango. Thank you.

[@sherrybhagwandin8424]

I had to find this video and thank you one million times for this recipe. I hv always hated making dhal puri. It would break, be messy, just a real stress. Firstly the dough is absolutely fantastic and the overall end results was the best I have ever had making this dish! Also i noticed that this dough did not soak up oil like a sponge. Thanks for a great recipe.

[@Metemgee]

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

Amazing. Thank you so much for trying my recipe and sharing.

[@jenniferdardenne5659]

Hi, I tried the recipe and it was very nice. I've never been able to try such a nice dhal Puri. It was fluffy and rated so nice. Just like the one I use to buy in Mauritius when I was in secondary school. I struggled a bit with the dough while I was rolling it it was super soft and it was breaking. May be I overloaded the dhal, am not really sure what I did wrong! It was hard to roll the shall Puri in the pan coz it was breaking and it didn't rise like the one you did but even I must say that even though I struggle with this part the dhal Puri still tasted super nice. The best recipe I ever tried. My 5 year old son had his first dhal Puri and he said: I love this mummy, it's so yummy 😊. If you have any tips for the dough not to break please give me some feedback. Thanks again for your amazing recipe. The whole family loved it ❤️

[@Metemgee]

I think you over stuffed the dough. That’s my problem too sometimes. Don’t over stuff and also make sure the dhal is cool completely before stuffing.

[@jaelgriffith2596]

Thanks so much for this recipe

[@fazsshipkolye4027]

Hi Auntie, did you know the mauritian normally would use the same water that boiled the dhall to mix the dough. Try that Auntie, it adds better taste and flavour.

[@annmarto8169]

Yes, I did that. Gives flavour to the roti.👍

[@murielodette2995]

@@annmarto8169 but the roti takes on a reddish color.when u use the dahl water in the dough,i used that water to cook rice in my rice cooker, came out soo good, i put the rest in a bottle to use next time, nothing wasted.!!! and my roti came out so good!!

Just bumped into your post, where were you all my life, subscribed already, my new guru 🙏🏽

[@yousoofadamayoub1553]

I am from Mauritius and we cook the same dhall puri , same name , same ingredients and before the internet we thought that Mauritius was the only place we have dholl puri. The dholl puri sellers here sell a pair of dholl puri with chutney, butter beans and vegetable pickles. Like you Guyanese we have grown up eating dholl puri! After all we are from the same bihari/Calcutta stock and perhaps the dholl puri originates there. Here most add a little yellow colour to the dough. Dholl puri is eaten with kheer too for chawtaree (The day after a wedding ceremony)

[@Metemgee]

Most people add curry to the peas or dough to make it yellow but I like it without that but of curry. So I skipped it.

[@70newlife]

Yes it originates from there. Bihar/Bengal make lots of Daal Puri it is also called Bedmi Puri. But Puri is the name given to deep fried rotis stuffed or otherwise. Roti is just plain roti baked on griddle( no flaking etc) paratha /porrota is flaky roti or stuffed roti cooked on tawa with a little oil like the above receipe. Leavened flour (stuffed or not) rolled out and fried is called Bhutura.
