It is eaten for breakfast or as a snack or lunch/brunch. Poori is usually served with sweets like Shrikhand/Aamrkhand/Kheer and savory curry or bhaji, as in poori bhaji, like Rasedar Potato curry / Moth beans curry / Potato stir fry / Chole Masala and many more.

Tips to Make Pooris:

  • Poori dough should be firm consistency. If you knead the dough soft, you will end up with oily pooris.
  • Rolled poori dough shouldn’t be too thin, it should be slightly thick.
  • The oil used for frying pooris must be hot enough(heat oil in a frying pan. Test that the oil is heated to the right temperature by dropping a tiny piece of flattened dough to the oil. If the dough rises up instantly and begins to puff up, that means oil is ready to fry pooris).
  • If you don't want to add all-purpose flour you can totally avoid it and replace it with whole wheat flour.
  • Drain the fried puri’s on paper towels, that helps to take out any excess oil and makes them light to eat.
  • You can not store the prepared pooris in an airtight container, as they tend to get hard unlike the deep-fried ones.


Good Time To Eat:
