Masala Poori Recipe
Ingredients
- 2 cups Whole wheat flour/ gehu ka atta
- 2 tbsp Rava/ Semolina helps give tightness to the dough
- 1/2 tsp Turmeric powder
- 1/2 tsp Red chili powder
- 1 tsp Coriander powder
- 1/2 tsp ajwain Carom seeds
- 1/4 tsp Hing/ Asafoetida
- 1 1/2 tsp crushed (dried methi leaves)Kasoori methi
- Sugar 1/2 tsp – the secret ingredient
- Salt to taste
- Oil 2 tbsps, as moyan
- Water as required to make poori dough
- Oil for deep frying
Method for making Masala Poori
-
In a wide bowl, take whole wheat flour, semolina, carom seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, asafoetida, kasoori methi, sugar, and salt.
-
Add moyan oil and mix well into the flour mixture. Slowly add water to form a slightly firm dough.
-
Cover and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes.
-
Now divide the kneaded poori dough into approx 15 -20 portions. Shape them into round balls. Coat the working surface as well as the rolling pin with a little oil. Coat each ball with a little oil (do not dust with flour as flour will burn in oil) and roll into round shape approx 4″
-
Heat oil in a heavy bottomed vessel or kadhai till hot. If you place a small piece of dough in the oil, it should sizzle up. Reduce heat to medium and place a rolled puri into the oil and with very gentle pressure press with the back of a slotted ladle till it puffs up.
-
Flip over the puri and allow to cook for a few seconds till it attains a light golden shade. Place the puri over an absorbent paper towel to absorb excess oil.
-
Prepare pooris with the rest of the balls poori is ready to be packed with chutney or pickle, or sabji.
