Poori

Learn thoroughly whatever is to be learnt;

Then, let the conduct be worthy of his learning.- Thirukural

Poori is our favorite weekend breakfast.  Equal proportion of wheat flour and maida works fine for me to get this soft balloon poori.

Ingredients:

• Wheat flour – 1 and ½ cup
• Maida/ APF – 1 and ½ cup
• Oil – 1 to 2 tsp
• Water – 1cup for kneading
• Salt to taste
• Oil for deep frying

Procedure:

1. Mix all the above ingredients with 2 tsp oil and make a soft dough.
2. Then take a small portion of dough and roll out small circle using a rolling pin. Make a slightly thick circle.
3. Deep fry in oil.
4. Drain excess oil in a tissue paper.
5. Serve hot with your favorite kuruma or potato gravy.

Tips: While frying pooris, Oil should be hot .Also take care that poori should not turn brown.
