BESAN AND METHI POORI

Special Notes

We make regular pooris with wheat flour. Here is an easy variation.

Ingredients:

1cup Wheat Flour

½ cup Besan

2 tbsp dried methi leaves or if using fresh Methi leaves take about ½  cup chopped leaves

2 tbsps oil

1 tsp salt

½ tsp lal mirch

pinch of heeng

water about ½ a cup to knead

Directions:

Knead to a firm consistency and make Pooris.

Makes about 15-16 pooris

Tips:

To test the Oil temperature, put a small bit of dough in the heated oil and see if it comes up right away or takes some time to come up. If it takes time to come up, the oil is still not ready for frying.
