POORI

Poori as we all know is a deep fried flat bread eaten all over as a favorite food item.Normally made as breakfast this tasty poori can be made  for dinner as well.I make it as a tiffin also and my daughter relishes it with vegetable kurma or potato masala.It is always  good to see children finish up their food in a matter of seconds and if that happens,you know they sure are tasty.But for many this might sound a little odd as they may think what is there to explain in the poori making?To make puffed pooris is a great task and you will get it by practice.It was also a bit playful for my daughter to put her fingers on the hot puffed pooris and make a hole in betweeen and then eating it when she was a kid.But for many beginners this will be useful and here comes the basic poori recipe..

 

INGREDIENTS

Wheat flour	1 cup
Water	as needed appx.1/4 cup
Salt	to taste
Sugar	1/8 tsp
Oil/Ghee	1/2 to mix while kneading
Oil	For deep frying

HOW TO MAKE

• In a wide bowl add wheat flour,water,salt.sugar and last but not the least oil/ghee and knead it to form a soft dough.It should neither be hard nor too sticky.

 

 

• Make small balls and flatten it with help of a rolling pin.Make sure the ends are are not thick,otherwise the pooris won’t puff.

Notes
