POORI


POORI

An ideal breakfast good to have with vegetable curry or egg roast.




THE INGREDIENTS

Wheat flour - 2 cups
Vegetable oil - 1/2 tbsp
Warm water - 3/4 cup
Oil - 3 cups
Salt - to taste

THE PREPARATION

Gently add about 3/4 cup warm water into the wheat flour and mix it just enough to form a firm dough, and knead till its smooth.

Cover it with a cotton fabric rinsed in water and keep aside for 30 mins.

Remove the fabric and mix it once again and make balls of small sizes

Roll them out like chappathi on an oiled board.

Heat oil in a wok or sauce pan.

Fry the poori one at a time, holding them under the oil on the first side until they puff.

Turn and fry till light brown and drain and keep it on tissue paper so that oil is drained out.
