Puffy and Tasty Pooris

Ingridients

Whole wheat flour                   1 cup

water                                       1/2 cup (use the same cup to measure flour and water)

salt                                           1/4 tsp

Oil                                             as required for frying  

Procedure

• In a lage bowl mix 1 cup of wheat flour with 1/4tsp. of salt.(I added turmeric powder too to get yellow color pooris)
• Add 1/2 cup of water knead well until the dough becomes soft. If its sticky add 1 tsp. of whole wheat flour and mix well.
• Knead well for atleast 10 minutes. It makes the dough very soft.
• Allow the dough to rest for 5 minutes.
• After 5 minutes make small balls.
• Press these balls to round shape.(shape of the pooris)
• In a shallow pan heat the oil required for frying pooris. If u make small poori, oil required is also less.
• To check if the oil is ready for making pooris put a small piece of dough into the oil. If it raises immediately, the oil is ready.
• Now put the shaped poori dough carefully into the oil. Press the pooris slightly with the spoon so that the poori puffs up.
• Turn the poori to cook the other side of it.
• Don’t fry the pooris for more than a minute. Once it starts changing color take it off from oil.
• Similarly fry all the shaped poori dough.

Serve hot with kadala curry or potato curry…
