Ingredients

  • 1 cup wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon fine rava optional
  • salt to taste
  • water as needed
  • oil to deep fry

Instructions

  • To a bowl add wheat flour, rava(soaked in water for 10 minutes) and salt together  and mix well to combine. Add water little by little to gather to form a stiff dough, first it will have cracks. Knead again to form a smooth dough.
  • Separate into equal lemon sized balls(or slightly smaller).Take a ball and roll it out with rolling pin making sure the thickness is even. Don't roll it very thin like we do for roti/chapati , it should a bit thicker.
  • Heat oil, carefully drop the pooris one after another(depends on your kadai size too).Once it is completely immersed in oil press gently with your spatula in the middle, continue pressing until the poori puffs up on all sides. Turn the other side, once it turns golden brown, remove and drain.
  • Serve hot fluffy pooris with aloo masala  / chole masala!

Notes

Make sure the kadai is filled with oil enough for the pooris to immerse.
Also oil should be hot for the puris to puff nicely. May be pinch a small piece and drop it in oil to check, it it raises immediately the oil is hot enough else heat the oil for  few more mins.
Also adding rava to the wheat flour gives nice crisp pooris like in hotels.
Adjust the flame to medium high for the oil to heat up first then lower the flame to medium.
