The word padava is derived from the Sanskrit word pratipada for the first day of each fortnight in a lunar month, i.e., the first day on which the moon appears after the so-called "new moon" day (अमावस्या) and the first day after the full moon. A Gudhi is also hoisted on this occasion giving this festival its name). Semolina Poori is a quick recipe, a favorite lunch box menu for all the kids.

Instructions :
In a mixing bowl add semolina or sooji, all-purpose flour, salt, and carom seeds, mix all well and by adding water knead to make dough for making puris.
Cover and keep the dough aside for about 15 minutes to set.
