    Bur Saliid/Puff Puff from Somalia

    Sep 22, 2014 · Modified: Feb 14, 2021 by Priya_Srinivasan ·

    We are visiting Somalia for S today. I bring you another fried bread from this country.  A popular street-food in most of African countries, Puff Puff is a combination of flour,yeast and salt, which is deep fried and rolled in sugar to taste heaven. But it can also be served with some spicy dip to make a delicious breakfast. 
    We loved it totally. That too my Lil one, enjoyed it calling Vada, vada!! When i was clicking it, he came for dipping his vada in powdered sugar and gobbled them with a giggle!! 🙂 Try them, they are very light, airy and i would definitely recommend that sugar dust as kids enjoy them better that way.

    Ingredients
    1 Cup All Purpose flour
    ¼ cup Semolina/ Cornmeal
    2 tablespoon sugar
    1 teaspoon instant yeast
    ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
    ½ Cup – ¾ Cup lukewarm water
    Vegetable oil for frying

    Method
    • Take together flour, yeast, salt, sugar and cardamom powder together in a bowl. Whisk well to combine
    • Now slowly add water and mix with a spoon to make a thick batter. You won’t get a smooth dough, it will be a gooey thick batter. 
    • Let the batter sit covered for 90 minutes or until doubled.  Once doubled, heat oil in a deep pan, when it is hot enough.Make ping-pong sized balls of the dough into hot oil and deep fry them in batches.
    • I dipped my hands in water, and pinched ping-pong sized balls from the gooey batter. It was like our Urad dal Vada batter.
    • Once the ball is in the oil, it will puff up amazingly, turn and cook them golden brown on all sides. Drain them using a slotted spoon onto a kitchen towel.
    • Serve Hot along with tea, tastes better when dusted with powdered sugar. These can also be served with some spicy chutney for breakfast.
