Poori for Pani Puri / Dahi puri

Now a day’s readymade puris are avaible in the market. But when I used to live in Sao Paulo I did not get it in the market. So I used to make it at home. It’s very easy to make and you can store it.

Ingredients

1 cup sooji

1 tbsp maida

A pinch of baking soda

3-4 tbsp of warm water

Salt as needed

Oil for deep frying

25 -30 puris

Procedure

In a wide bowl add sooji, add salt and baking powder. Mix it well.

Add water little by little, don’t add too much water. Now add maida and knead the dough very well. Make a stiff dough. Add few drops of oil and knead the dough for another 2 minutes.

Cover and keep it for 15-20 minutes.

Take small lemon sized dough’s and roll into thin rotis by applying oil on the rolling pin and counter top. Cut this into small rounds with help of cookie cutter or cap of any bottle.

Heat the oil for deep frying and put the small puri into this and deep fry them on both sides. The oil should be hot.

Take them out from the oil and drain it on the kitchen towel.

These poori’s are easily available in super markets. So you do not have to strain yourself making these poori’s. After all, we are not going to have pani puri everyday. You can get it ready made.
