Poori or Puri, I will spell this as Poori. Poori's is special and when I say special it means that these are cooked on a special occasion. It is liked by all the age group and loved by kids. I too love it and tried making this at home last Sunday (well this blog was in my draft from long time, so now do not remember when I made it) and it just came out perfect. Poori goes best with Potato gravy (in Hindi it is called as alloo ki sabji or alloo palya in kannada). The dough of Poori can be of wheat/maida or a mix of wheat and maida, this depends on state to state in India. I have learned this from Namrata. Indeed I can never be as perfect as she is but I can try.
The name poori is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘purika’. Though, its origin is mystifying, but it is believed that it is originated in North India, especially in the Uttar Pradesh. In other Indian regions as well, it is called by different names. For example, ‘Luchi’ in Bengal. A bread in Georgian is also called ‘puri’.
Preparation Time: 30 mins
Wheat,
Water and Salt to taste
edible Oil
Well I am going to assume you know how to make a dough for chapati. You can either use your hands or food processor for making Poori dough. Just remember the douch of Poori will be little hard then chapati dough. The reason for this is we need to fry them in Oil and the harder dough prevents the Poori's to absorb more oil. If you drop 2 to 3 drop of oil while making poori dough, the poories will absorb less oil. Your dough should like below:
Method:
1. Make a dough.
2. Once your dough is ready make small round balls. Apply little oill on the round balls.
3. Roll out the balls in circle, please do not make them too thin or thick.
4. Heat Oil in Pan.
5. Verify of your oil is properly heated up.- Put a very very size tiny (equivalent size of an mustard) piece of dough in heated oil, if your tiny piece of dough come up then your good to fry poories.
6. Now turn your flame in Medium.
7. Drop the rolled dough in the oil. (Be careful)
8. Shake them continuously and take them out once the poori top crust turn little brown in color.
9. Hey we are done, You can serve them with potato gravy or any thing which you love it. Poori goes with any thing.
