Ingredients

Wheat flour - 1 Cup
Salt to taste
Ajwain - 1/2 tablespoon
Water - 3/4 th Cup
Oil - 2-3 tablespoon for kneading atta and as required for deep frying Poories

Instructions

In a bowl and add dry wheat flour, salt, and ajwain to it. Mix well.
Now add 2-3 tbsp of oil and knead a tight (not very smooth) dough by adding water to it. Set it aside for about 5-8 minutes by covering it with a plate.
Now after 5 minutes, divide the dough in equal parts and make small balls of it.
Now flatten a ball on the roller board ( 2-3 inch diameter). You may use some oil while rolling poories. (I dust it slightly in dry flour)
Likewise roll all poories and meanwhile heat enough oil on medium flame in a kadai/ pan.
Dip a poori into the oil slowly and puff it by pressing it with the help of a slotted spoon or a pierced spatula.
Flip the poori and fry it from both sides till it becomes golden brown in colour.
Take the poori out of the oil now and place it on a tissue paper so that the excess oil is absorbed by the tissue paper.
Hot soft and fluffy "Poori/ Puri" is now ready. Serve them hot with aloo curry or pickle.

Good food creates good memories and can win many hearts. Though basic cooking started in my Mumbai days, but being in Germany for few years, I started missing all Indian food especially street food. This has made me trying new and new dishes at home and even during the lockdown period in india, it has proved to be the need of the hour!!
