WHOLE WHEAT POOR I/ FRIED PUFFED BREAD

The popular Indian deep fried and puffed bread made from whole wheat flour. Poori is always like a treat during my childhood days. When guests are coming for lunch, then pooris are always in the menu. But now a days, I am not making pooris as my hubby don’t like oily, deep fried but my daguhters love pooris, so once in a six month or occasionally I make them. Pooris are one of the most well-known and versatile of Indian foods. It can be served as a snack or a meal depending on the accompanying items.
