Masala poori is a breakfast with twist to our regular poori, by adding the spice powders and making it special. Perfect for a special breakfast or dinner. Step by step pictures recipe.

Ingredients

Wheat flour/ Atta – 2 cups
Red chilli powder –  1 tsp
Coriander seeds powder – 1 tsp
Amchoor powder – 1/2 tsp
Kasoori methi – 1 tsp
Turmeric – 1/4 tsp
Salt – As needed
Oil – 2 tsp
Water as needed

Method

1. Take wheat flour and all the other ingredients except water in a mixing bowl.
2. Mix well to incorporate all the ingredients.
3. Sprinkle water to make a stiff, yet a dough without cracks.
4. Rest the dough for 10 mins. Knead well for 5 mins.
5. Divide the dough into 12 equal sized balls.
6. If needed dust with very little flour (maida/ atta) and spread flat round disc.
7. Heat oil in a kadai (heavy bottomed deep dish). Fry the pooris both sides until puffs well and golden in colour. Drain in paper towel.

Notes

• Adding less water is the key for crispy, poori that stays puffed for long time. 
• If water is more, still the poori puffs, and turns out soft. It’s up to our preference.
• Do not use kashmiri red chilli powder. Use other varieties which is spicy to save your oil without turning red.
