Meals Indian >> Poori Bread

Ingredients :

2.5 cups chappati flour
2/3 cup water at room temperature
ghee for brushing the bread while rolling out the dough
Oil for deep frying

 

Method :

Make stiff but pliable dough. Cover the dough with damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.

Knead dough a little again. Dough should be stiff enough to roll without extra flour.
Make small balls of the dough and cover them with damp cloth. Take one ball of dough and dip a corner of ball in melted ghee or oil and roll it out into 4 to 5 inches round. Repeat the same process to roll out all pooris.

Heat plenty of oil in a kadhai until very hot.

Put in a poori and immediately start flickering hot oil over the top of it with a spatula so that it will swell up like a ball. This should take only a few seconds. Flip the poori over and cook the other side until golden brown.
