Poori with Potato Podimas

 
For Poori:
Ingredients:

Wheat Flour - 2 cups

Fine Sooji Rawa- 1 tbsp

Salt as per taste

Water to knead the dough
Oil for frying

Method:

Put flour, sooji rawa and salt in a large bowl. Pour water carefully to knead the dough until soft. Allow it to rest for 15 minutes. (I always cover the dough with the a wet cloth to avoid the dryness of the dough. If u don't have a wet cloth keep the dough in a box) After 15 minutes take out the dough and make small balls. Take one ball of dough and dip a corner of ball in oil and roll it out into 4 to 5 inches round.  If you use flour instead of oil, you can find black residues in the frying oil.

 

In the mean while heat oil in a pan. Once the oil is hot put poori and immediately start flickering hot oil over the top of it with a spatula so that it will swell up like a ball.
