Hi Sajida the puffing of puris depends on many factors like oil temperature(not very hot),puri thickness ( not very thick or thin),use of baking powder( chk the expiry dates as the effect gets reduced due course of time).let the dough stand for few minutes bfore making puris as dough needs time to rest and rise.hope it helped.

Hi Deva! Do you use any of the rising agents that help the flour to rise - like baking powder, baking soda etc. If not try using that.
