     1 c  Unbleached All-Purpose Flour


     1 c  Whole Wheat Flour

 Place the flours in a bowl, add enough of the water to make a soft pliable


 dough.  Add the melted butter, knead until smooth. Cover the bowl with a


 damp cloth, leave in a warm place for one hour. Divide into 16 pieces and,


 using a little oil on the hands, shape into balls. Grease the rolling pin


 and board with oil, roll each ball into a thin pancake. Heat the ghee until


 smoking hot, place a puri in the frying pan. Turn immediately and press


 with a fish slice (slotted spatula or pancake turner) until the puri puffs


 up. Cook until golden.  Drain on absorbent paper, serve as soon as


 possible.
