Soft, fluffy, and perfectly puffed pooris combined with spicy hot potato masala curry for breakfast is an absolute delight. But a few would still want to avoid poori in their diet in consideration of its high oil content.
Making the dish is also not that easy as it requires a lot of processes, from kneading to rolling out. Hence, in many households, pooris are usually made only on holidays.
But you can also make pooris in a flash. It requires no kneading, either. And there is a twist to the story; here the dish is prepared by adding some boiled rice to the dough. It not only makes the dish crispy, but fluffy and puffy as well, as in restaurants. This novel, yet interesting recipe has been shared on the social media page ‘Dians Kannur Kitchen’.
