Indian Fry Bread - Poori

A Very popular Indian Fry Bread, Poori(also spelt) puri, is wickedly delicious. There is a variety of puri made. 

Indian fry bread recipe is made either with whole wheat flour or plain flour or a mixture of both. Plain flour puris are softer and whiter. But using whole wheat flour is healthier and I find it tastier. 

poori_bhajiI always use whole wheat flour. A little semolina or gram flour can also be added if you like it a little crisp like I do. 

By adding a few other ingredients, you can vary the taste, color of the puri. Such as Masala-Poori ,  Palak-Poori , Bhatura.

You can mix the dough and keep in the fridge for 2-3 days and make puris whenever you want. You can also take this indian fried bread with you when you go for a picnic as puris can keep for a day or two. My family loves them.

  • salt - 1/4 tsp

  2. Roll each dough ball into a round of about 3".
  3. Put the round carefully in the hot oil. It will puff up like a ball. Let fry for 2-3 seconds. Turn on to the other side. Let cook for 5 seconds or till it is golden brown.

    Serve hot with any curry of your choice. But it is best with Potato Subji/Aloo Bhaji or with Potato Curry
