2 Cups Wheat Flour

2 Medium Sized Boiled Potatoes

2 tablespoon Green Coriander

Salt as required

1 teaspoon Red Chilli Powder

1 teaspoon Dry Coriander Powder

¼ teaspoon Turmeric Powder

¼ teaspoon Carom Seeds

Oil for Frying

METHOD:

STEP 1 – Boil, peel and mash the potatoes.

STEP 2 – Take wheat flour in a big mixing bowl, add all the ingredients except  oil in it and mix it properly.

STEP 3 – Start adding water in it and knead a smooth dough with it. Cover the dough and keep it aside for 20-25 minutes to set and then use for making the pooris.

STEP 4 – After 20 minutes are done, grease your hands with some oil and knead the dough again until smooth.

STEP 5 – Let us now divide the dough into small portions.

Take one ball and roll it into a round poori with 3-4 inch diameter. Grease the rolling pin and board with little oil to prevent sticking to it. Cover the rest of the balls to prevent them from drying.

STEP 6 – Heat enough oil in a wide kadhai. The oil for frying the pooris should be rightly heated. To check if the oil is heated rightly or not, drop little dough to the oil, if the dough ball immediately started floating on the surface, then it is perfect for frying the pooris.
STEP 7 - Roll the pooris with 3-4 inch diameter. Keep them aside

STEP 8 - Repeat the same with the rest of the dough and roll the pooris.

STEP 9 – Slide the rolled poori in the oil and press gently with the ladle to puff it up.

When the pooris turns little brown from beneath, flip the side and continue frying until gets little golden brown.

STEP 10 – The poori is golden brown from the other side as well. Drain out the fried poori on a kitchen towel/ tissue paper. Similarly fry the roll and fry the rest of the pooris.

STEP 11 – Steaming hot and mouth watering Aloo Pooris are ready to serve.
