If you love puris but avoid them due to excess oil, this viral zero oil puri recipe might be perfect for you. Instagram user @eatsbyshhweta, known for sharing healthy and lifestyle food videos, has shared a unique way to make oil-free puris that are light, crispy, and full of flavour.
Sharing the viral video, she wrote, “No Oil. Full Crisp. FULL FLAVOR! 🔥 These guilt-free puris are a game-changer. 👌 Would you try this healthy version? COMMENT ‘YES’ if you’re in! ⬇️”
The video has grabbed huge attention because it offers a modern, healthier alternative to traditional fried puris.
Why This Zero Oil Puri Recipe Is Special
According to the creator, this version of puri is:
1. Completely oil-free – no deep frying needed.
2. Crispy yet soft, just like the classic puri.
3. Perfect for festive meals or even daily healthy meals.
4. Microwave and air-fryer friendly, making it super quick.
She also mentioned that the recipe is inspired by @saaolzerooilcooking, but she added semolina and curd for better texture and taste. The calorie details were also shared: “1 puri (~25g) = 62 kcal, 11g carbs, 2g protein, 0.5g fat (Calculated thrice for accuracy).”
Zero Oil Puri Recipe With Just Water
In the video, a man explains a simple zero oil puri recipe step-by-step. He says, “Pehle namak dalkar achhe se lijiye. Aur fir isko aap bees minute ke liye dhak rakhiye. Ab isko aapko paani mein dalna hai, paani boil paani mein dal kar bees sec rakhiye. Aur isko wapas kar rakhiye aur microwave mein lijiye do sau degree temperature ko”
(Mix salt with flour and knead it well. Cover the dough and let it rest for 20 minutes. Dip the rolled puris in boiling water for 20 seconds. Microwave at 200 degrees.)
The result is a puffed, crispy puri that looks and tastes close to the fried version but is completely oil-free.
Is Oil-Free Puri Healthy?
Health experts suggest that skipping deep frying significantly reduces fat and calories. This makes oil-free puris a smarter option for those focusing on weight loss or mindful eating. However, as puris are made from flour, portion control is still important.
