Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups wheat flour
  • 1 ½ tablespoon fine rava semolina
  • Kasoori methi
  • ¼ teaspoon carom seeds

Grind

  • 250 g cooked potato
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 teaspoon Kashmiri chilli powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon turmeric powder

To Fry

  • Oil

Instructions

  • Cook the potato, cool, and peel.
  • Add ingredients under “Grind” and blend into a smooth mixture.
  • Add wheat flour, fine rava, kasoori methi, and carom seeds; mix well.
  • Kneading Dough and Preparing for Frying
  • Add the ground mixture to the flour and mix together.
  • Wash and grease your hands with oil, then knead a soft, pliable dough.
  • Cover the poori dough with a damp cloth and rest for 10 minutes.
  • Rolling and Frying Poori
  • Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan until hot.
  • After 5 minutes of resting, roll the dough once and pinch a small portion. Keep the rest covered.
  • Roll the dough ball with your palm, then flatten it with a rolling pin.
  • Sprinkle flour and roll the poori evenly.
  • Roll evenly for puffed poori.
  • Roll large poori and cut with a cookie cutter, or make small puris directly.
  • Place rolled poori on a kitchen towel for 2 minutes before frying.
  • Check if the oil is hot enough.
  • Slide poori gently into oil, dusting off excess flour.
  • Press softly with a slotted ladle to puff evenly.
  • Avoid pressing too hard — holes prevent puffing.
  • Poori puffs with bubbles settling.
  • Flip and fry the other side until golden brown.
  • Once both sides are golden brown, transfer to a colander or paper towel to drain excess oil.
  • Fry the remaining puris in batches. Maintain oil temperature — hot but not smoking. Avoid overcrowding.
