Might vary depending on the quality of flour) method 1. Stir the flour and salt in a bowl 2. Add water little by little while neading until it comes together. I think we would have used around 1 cup of water but it might differ depending on the quality of the flour. So add it little by little while kneading. You can also add 1 tbsp or so of hot oil (that you are heating for deep frying) to the dough. The final consistency should not be too tight (dry) or too soft(wet). 3. Knead it well until smooth. The dough should not be sticky (only v lightly sticky) or feel dry in your hands. 4. Make small balls out of it. These will depend on how big a fryer you have. Or just make poori of small-med (probably about 6 inch in diameter) . Tips: Do not let the dough sit. Usually for roti(s), Let the dough sit for some time which makes the dough very soft. But for poori unlike with other bread this rule is flexible as it works if even for a quick start. If you let it sit makes it prone to soaking up lots of oil while frying. Hence you can use the dough immediately to make the poori. P a g e 8 5. Roll it out into small circles with thin-medium thickness. Don't make it too thin else it will come out crispy. 6. Repeat for all dough. At the side, heat oil for deep frying. 7. Do the oil-temperature test to see if it is ready. The oil should be hot but not too hot that it smokes. Tips: Drop a small piece of dough into the oil. The dough should fry up immediately and come to the surface. You know the oil is not hot enough when the puri does not puff up, is flat and instead is also soaking up oil. 8. Now drop the poori into the oil. 9. While the poori is slowly coming to the surface, make sure to keep ladling in the hot oil on the surface of the poori. This helps the poori to puff up. 10. Turn the poori so that it gets evenly reddish brown or golden yellow (however you prefer) 11. Place it on paper towel to drain off any oil. If fried right, it wont retain oil. Serve poori with chicken or other types of curries.
