Spicy Methi Puri

Simply spicy yet delicious. Spicy methi puri is a combination of aromatic spice powders with methi leaves.  Since we don't get fresh methi leaves here in Malaysia, i used dry methi leaves (called Kasoori methi)  bought from Indian Cash and Carry. As South Indian recipes preferes curry leaves, North Indian recipes mostly prefers methi leaves or fenugreek leaves for wonderful aromatic flavor.  Instead of plain puri, spicy methi puri is unique way to satisfy those having spicy palate.  Idea of methi puri initiated from a cook book narrated by Singapore fame Devagi Sanmugam. She is my inspiration since i know her from various cooking programs.  I just modify this recipe and fry wonderful Spicy Methi Puri's.
