Prepare the puris: Mix 1 cup of semolina (rava), 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour (maida), a pinch of baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Gradually add water and knead it into a smooth dough. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes. Roll out small puris and deep fry them until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Dilute the mixture with water and strain it.
