Poori with Potato Masala

When I was growing up, one of the special dishes for weekend breakfasts would be Poori with potato masala.  I liked Poori so much that Mom would save some Pooris for my Lunch. Pooris go well with potato masala and it is very easy to make.  Now, my girls like to have Pooris on the weekends.

Ingredients

Wheat Flour - 2 cups

Water

Salt - 3/4 tsp

Oil - 2 tsp

Oil for Frying.

Method

Mix the flour with salt, required water and 2 tsps of oil until you get a nice soft dough. Make small balls of the dough and flatten each ball using a rolling pin. Poori has to be a little thick than what we do for chappathi.

Heat oil in a pan and deep fry pooris.

Drain the Pooris in a paper towel.
