Dear gayesh!
For fluffy-crisp restaurant style puris and chola puris-
The secret lies in mixing flours, the flame and the thickness. There is no need for a particular recipe. Just add a little plain flour to the wheat flour along with salt, a little sugar and a pinch of baking powder. For example, add 3 tbsp of plain flour, 1/4 tsp of baking powder and 1/2 tsp of sugar to 2 cups of wheat flour. Make stiff dough. Keep it covered with a damp cloth for at least 1 hour. When frying the puris, the fire must be high. Do not roll the puris into a thick one. Slightly thickened puri will puff immediately when putting it in hot oil.

Dear pr!
In villages, boiled rice is used to make idiyappams. They are also called as sandhakai and sevais. Most of the people make idiyappams with the raw rice only. Some people will soak either par boiled rice or raw rice and grind it to a fine batter. Then will add enough salt and a little oil. They will steam the batter by pouring it in to the idli moulds. Then pass them through the idiyaappam press or sevai press when they are hot. Here I am re-posting the recipe of Idiyappam for you.
IDIYAPPAM:
Soak few cups of raw rice in water for half an hour and then drain it.
Pound the rice into fine flour. Sieve the flour twice. Put this flour in a thin cloth and then put it in a bowl. Close the top with the corners of the cloth. Steam it for 15 minutes. Then place it on a cloth, allow it to cool down, break down any lumps and then again sieve it. You can keep this flour for months.
Some people will not steam the rice flour. They will fry the flour on a very low fire. When a good smell comes from the flour, it must be taken out, cooled down and again sieved.
Take 1 cup of the prepared flour in a bowl and add 1sp oil and a little salt to the flour. Boil 1 to 1/2 cups of water. When it simmers, pour it on the flour little by little and mix well with a wooden spoon. It should not be very rough dough.
You must feel flexibility and smoothness in your hand and be careful not to add much water. Put this dough in a greased idiyaappam maker and press the idiyaappams in a greased idiyaappam mould nicely. Steam them for 15 minutes.
