poori is tasty, spicy poori. Masala means

difference that makes in the taste and color too.
Just try it and see

Ingredients for Masala Poori
- whole wheat flour - 2 cups.

- cumin powder - 1/2 tsp

dough ball. Keep aside for 20 minutes.

Cooking Method
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan. It should be on
medium hot once it is heated well.
- Roll each ball into a round of about 3".
- Put the round carefully in the hot oil. It
will puff up. Fry for 2-3 seconds. Turn on to the other side. Let cook
for 5 seconds.
- Take out the poori and drain well.
Serve hot with any curry of your choice. It can
also be eaten by itself. It is a perfect item to take it for lunch to
office or school or for a picnic. It will be good to eat for a day.
Even if you are watching your fat intake, it is ok
to eat poori once in a while. You should not miss out of good tasty
items. Don't you agree? Tips:
Ajwain (carom seeds or Bishop's weed) is good for digestion. I love the
taste too. You can eat a pinch of ajwain seeds after food to help
digestion.
