Roll one puri into a 3-4 inch diameter circle. Apply some water on the sides of the puri.
Put one portion of stuffing into the center, make pleats and gather them into the center, pinch it and seal it tightly.
Similarly, shape the rest of them and on the other side heat the oil for frying on medium heat.
