3. Yogurt – 2 tbsp
4. Oil – 3 tbsp
5. Salt – 1 tsp
6. Baking powder – 1 pinch
7. Milk – 2 tbsp

9. Oil – for deep frying

Method of The Poori’s:-

• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt, then add yogurt and oil.
• Gradually add in the warm water and knead to a soft dough.
• Let it sit for about 20 mins, then divide the dough into 10-12 pieces.
• Roll each one out to about 4 inches diameter.

For Soft Puris Proceed as Follows:

• Heat your oil, make sure it’s quite hot. Put in a poori’s in the hot oil and immediately start splashing hot oil over the top of it with a spoon.
• Gently press down on the poori’s with the back of a wooden spoon or spatula, and you will see it start to puff up.
• Gently press down with the spatula, and wait till it puffs completely, it should take only few seconds.
• Flip the poori’s over and cook the other side until golden brown.

FOR CRISPY POORI’S, YOU NEED TO DO:-

• After you’ve rolled out your poori’s, make small slits all over them.
• This will stop them from puffing up, and they will stay flat and crisp.
• Fry them in the oil on both sides until golden and remove. Drain on paper towels.
