How to make puffed poori's ?




Ingredients 
For the Poori's
  1. Wheat Flour / Atta - 2 cups
  2. Salt - as per taste
  3. Water - as needed
  4. Oil- for deep frying

Preparation
  • In a bowl , mix wheat flour and salt. Now add water as needed and knead into a soft dough, by kneading continuously for 5 minutes. Do not keep it to rest , as you do it for chappathi's.
  • Make small balls from the dough.Now with a rolling pin, roll each of the small dough into round circles. Do not make it too thin. Remove excess flour before dropping into oil.
  • Heat oil for deep frying, in a deep pan. Drop one poori, at a time. Keep pouring hot oil on top, for the poori's to puff up.Also turn the other side.
