A typical Manipuri breakfast consists of a type of flatbread known as Tan which is usually enjoyed with black tea (also known as Changang) and it resembles a puri. Tan can be made with refined or a mix of rice flour, salt and water which is known as Temai Tan. It also often served with a pea dal and sometimes accompanied by a pumpkin dish or with a potato curry made in mustard oil called Aloo Kangmet.

Ingredients

Primary

	200 g - Maida (all-purpose flour)
	As required - Salt
	300 ml approx - Refined oil

Directions

1
Mix the salt and flour.
2
Add water and knead them to a soft yet non-sticky dough.
3
Divide the dough equally to golf ball sizes. You should get around six of them out of this dough.
4
Flatten them with a rolling pin into round shapes of approximately 6 inches in diameter.
5
Pour the oil generously in a pan and heat it. The puri needs to be deep fried so the oil should be at least 1 inch deep. Gently lower the flattened dough into the hot oil. The oil needs to be really hot for a puffed up puri.
6
Use your strainer spoon to submerge the puri completely in the oil. You have to do this right after you lower the dough into the oil.
7
Turn it to the other side.
8
Use your strainer spoon to submerge it in the oil again. Fry it for a few seconds and the puri is done. Make sure you don’t burn the puri.
