Good things are not liked by all.And when it comes to food all the healthy and good ingredients are disliked as if they are forbidden.I also don’t have a soft corner for methi leaves or menthya keerai.But sometime back accidentally some fenugreek seeds fell into my balcony’s tiny garden’s pot and lo! I had my first kitchen garden harvest though unplanned.Fenugreek seeds are known for combating diabetes and ofcousre has a good source of iron.So i was tempted to make this methi poori since it uses many other spices as well and so the bitterness cannot be felt.So here’s is the recipe of no bitter methi poori.
INGREDIENTS
| Wheat flour | 1cup |
| Besan | 1/4 cup |
| Methi leaves | a few |
| Red chilli powder | 1/2 tsp |
| Garam masala | 1/4 tsp |
| Ajwain | 1/2 tsp |
| Salt | to taste |
| Sugar | 1/2 tsp |
| Oil | to deep fry |
HOW TO MAKE
- Wash,pat dry and cut methi leaves into small pieces.In a bowl add wheat flour,red chilly powder,ajwain,salt ,besan,methi leaves,garam masala,sugar and oil and mix well.Adding water knead into a soft and pliable dough.
- Make small balls out of the dough and with the help of rolling pins flatten the balls into hot pooris.
- Make thin pooris.Heat oil and when it gets heated drop in pooris on to the hot oil.
- Take them out and remove excess oil by putting in a paper tissue.
- Serve hot with any vegetable,pickle or raita.I made tomato thokku and pomegranate raita.
Notes
- You can add jeera/cumin or white sesame instead of ajwain.
- You can even replace red chilly powder by adding chopped green chilly or making a paste out of it.
- Addition of crushed garlic will also enhance the taste.
