Pooris
Awesome to have with halvas or kheer or khara bateta…whatever you prefer having them with! This recipe can be adapted to make soft pooris or crispy ones.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup atta flour
- 2 tbsp. yoghurt
- 3 tbsp. oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- pinch of baking powder
- warm water for kneading you can add a bit of milk in it for extra soft pooris
- oil for deep frying
Instructions
- Sift the flour, add the baking powder, salt, yoghurt and oil. Gradually add in the warm water and knead to a soft dough. Let it sit for about 20mins, then divide the dough into 10-12 pieces. Roll each one out to about 4 inches diameter.For soft pooris:Heat your oil, make sure it’s quite hot. Put in a poori in the hot oil and immediately start splashing hot oil over the top of it with a spoon.Gently press down on the poori with the back of a wooden spoon or spatula, and you will see it start to puff up. If the poori turns dark in less than a minute, the oil is too hot. Reduce the heat of the stove. Gently press down with the spatula, and wait till it puffs completely, it should take only few seconds.Flip the poori over and cook the other side until golden brown.For crispy pooris:After you’ve rolled out your pooris, make small slits all over them. This will stop them from puffing up, and they will stay flat and crisp. Fry them in the oil on both sides until golden and remove.Drain on paper towels and serve!
May I know how much water is needed f it’s in a dough making machine
It’s hard to estimate water, just add about half a cup then increase gradually IF needed as the dough is getting kneaded.

Hey I tried ur recipe for pooris it turned out very well was puffy n tasted awsome
Just would like to know what could b da reason for its absorbing too much oil?
It made me lil upset when oil dripped off when it was broken to eat
Hi! Could it be that you
Hi! Could it be that you fried them in oil that wasn’t hot enough? That is one of the main reasons for oil to get absorbed. You need the oil to be hot when frying.

Sweetest Sister Fauzia,
A/salam…
I invited some guest over for traditional breakfast as the city am living in doesn’t have any halal food outlets. I doubled the recipe of pooris and by far it was the best poori recipe i have tried over years. they were soft n fluffy for kids and i fried a bit longer with 1 or 2 slits and they were crispy and yummylicious for my taste. The guest were very happy and took all the left overs. i said all thanks to Almighty Allah and my new cooking expert sister Fauzia. Stay Healthy and happy and keep creating yummy food recipes for people like us. May Allah fulfill all your wishes. Ameen.
