    Poori Recipe

    Puri Masala is one of my all time favourite dish. I make it atleast once a week, it is a popular south indian dish and taste so yummy. I have made 2 version of poori on my blog. One recipe has some sooji added in it which will make it puffy for long time. This is a everyday breakfast version, which is easy to make.

    The important thing is make the dough little harder than chapati dough. This is important for making pooris puffy.

    About Puri recipe

    Puri (sometimes spelled as poori) is a deep-fried bread made from unleavened whole-wheat flour that originated in the Indian subcontinent. It is eaten for breakfast or as a snack or light meal. It is usually served with a savory curry or bhaji, as in puri bhaji, but may also be eaten with sweet dishes.

    Puris are most commonly served as breakfast and snacks. It is also served at special or ceremonial functions as part of ceremonial rituals along with other vegetarian food offered in prayer as prasadam.

    My Love for Poori Story

    Poori's are my absolute favorites. There are days when we make poori atleast once or twice a week. They are my favorite foods on the earth. Because I am on diet, because I have to reduce my waist line, because it is my wedding. I am forced to avoid this. I am missing my poori a lot. The speciality of poori is it should be puff till you eat this, that why it is called a puuuu----riiii.

    But many of us find it really hard to get perfected in that. The poori's will nicely puff up when they are in oil, but once you remove them from the oil. They shrunk like a airless balloon. You don't need that right. So here I am giving you some tips to make the perfect poori, which stays puffed even when they are cold.

    Poori Ingredients

     Flour:

    Wheat flour gives a wonderful texture to your poori and makes it so delicious and soft. You can use wheat flour instead of plain flour but the texture will vary. In fact you can add half plain flour and half wheat flour for better texture.

    Sooji:

    Sooji gives the texture to the poori. dough made only with plain flour would be difficult to roll because of the texture. When adding little sooji to it. It will be easy to roll.

    Pro Tips

    The key to make a perfect poori is to add some sooji in the dough. But when you add the sooji directly in the flour, it stays grainy and make the poori hard. So soak it first and make it soft before you add it in the flour.

    Poori must be accompanied by poori masala. I hope you will love this and tell me if you tried it.
