Poori is a fried Indian bread. It's eaten in many ways- I used to like it all on its own, hot!
3 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp salt (or to taste)
1 tbsp cumin seeds
1 tsp chili powder
1 tsp turmeric
1 tbsp coriander powder
3/4 tbsp cumin powder
1 tbsp oil/melted butter
1 cup water and a little more (A mixture of whey from yogurt and water works well here too and adds protein!)
Mix the flour with salt, cumin seeds, chili, turmeric, coriander & cumin powders.
Add oil/butter in it and by adding water knead into a soft dough.
Leave it for an hour and knead again briefly and shape them into small (i inch in diameter) balls.
Place the balls on a flat surface and roll them out using some flour to prevent sticking.
Heat oil in a wok.
Carefully slip them one after another into hot oil.
Fry until it puffs up and is golden brown on both sides remove and drain it on a paper towel.
Serve hot with a curry or just yogurt and Indian pickles
