Notes

  • Soaking sooji in hot water for 5 minutes will soften the sooji a little which makes it blend into the dough a lot better.
  • Mix oil and sooji into the wheat flour before adding water.
  • Add water slowly making the dough else it may get sticky.
  • Knead the dough for at least 5 minutes.
  • Make sure the oil is super hot when frying the poori so it puffs up.
