Servings 4 People
Ingredients
- 2 cups All Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- ¼ tsp Hing or Asafoetida
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 tsp Red Chili Powder
- 2 tsp Coriander Powder
- 1 tsp Cumin Powder
- 2-3 Green Chilies Finely Chopped
- ¼ cup Fresh Coriander Leaves Finely Chopped
- 1 tsp Dried Fenugreek leaves or Kasuri Methi
- Refined Sunflower Oil For Deep Frying
- Water to knead the dough
Instructions
- Mix the Flours. Add 2-3 tbsp of Refined Oil and rub it uniformly in the flour mix.
- Now, add rest of the ingredients and give everything a mix.
- Now, knead this into a dough. Note: It should be firmer in texture than your regular chapatti/roti dough. Yet it shouldn't be as tight which would make it non-pliable.
- Now, rub some oil over the dough and cover it for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat oil in a vessel where you can deep fry the Pooris. Allow it to heat properly.
- Pinch off small balls off the dough and roll them into round disks of medium thickness.
- As the oil starts to smoke, turn the heat low and deep fry the pooris, one by one.
- Serve hot with Potato Curry or any other Curry or your choice.
