Masala Poori Recipe

To prepare Masala poori, let us start with dough preparation. Take 2 cups of wheat flour in a bowl and add 1/2 cup of besan and 1/2 cup of sooji to it. Adding sooji will make pooris crispy and delicious.

Now, add 1 tsp of salt, 1/2 tsp of carom seeds, 1/2 tsp of cumin seeds, 1/4 tsp of turmeric powder, 1/2 tsp of crushed red chili, some chopped green coriander, 1 tbsp of oil to the flour, and mix well.

Adding carom seeds will enhance the poori taste, and turmeric will give a nice color to the pooris.

Pour water gradually and knead a stiff dough similar to the plain poori dough. Once done, add a little oil and knead the dough for 4-5 minutes. Cover and rest the dough for 20 mins to set.

After 20 minutes, apply a little oil to your hand and knead the dough for 2-3 minutes to make it soft. Next, divide it into small pieces and fold each piece of dough into a Loi.

Take a Loi, apply a little oil over it, and roll it into a poori. Preheat the oil in the Kadai for frying poori. When the oil is hot, drop a rolled poori in it, and press it down with a spatula as soon as it comes up to the surface.

When the poori is completely puffed up, turn it upside down and fry it till golden brown from both sides.
