Homemade Khari or Pastry Puff
Published on 2008-07-08 14:04:00
I always wondered how khari must be made. As kid I used to like it very much. I have tried making khari to know that the end result is nowhere close to it in my first attempt. In my second attempt though my khari came out perfectly fine, crisy and mutilayered, perfect texture and taste too. I was pleasantly surprised at myself.My younger brother being a chef told me that you can't be assured about the end result of a perfect khari or pastry puff. But I still tried and will peasantly surprise him
