Whole wheat flour Poori recipe (also spelt) puri, is a very popular Indian Fry Bread.
It is unlevened deep fried bread.
Poori is wickedly delicious. There is a variety of poori/puri made.
Poori is not a everyday Indian bread. Poori/Puri is a special bread that is made on weddings, festivals, parties, picnics etc.
It is made occasionally as breakfast or snack too. As puri is a fried bread, it should be eaten only once in a while.
Poori is served with sweet dishes such as basundi,
kheer ,
srikhand,
gulab jamun etc. in Maharashtra.
Most of the times it is served with spicy vegetable dishes such as potato masala, vegetable saagu, curries or chutneys.
Indian fry bread recipe is made either with atta - whole wheat flour or maida - 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.
I always use whole wheat flour. A little semolina or gram flour can also be added if you like the puris 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 - Spicy Fry Bread ,
Palak-Poori - Spinach Fry Bread ,
Bhatura.
The popular bengali Luchi is a variation of puri that is made with maida (plain flour).
You can mix the puri 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 remain soft for long and can keep for a day or two.
My family loves them. Your family would love them too!
