Plain poori Recipe | Simple Puri Recipe:

  • When the dough sets, grease your hands with some oil and knead it again.
  • After that, make small lumps from the dough.
  • Now, take one dough lump in hand and make a round ball.
  • Likewise, prepare the rest of the lumps as well and keep them covered to prevent them from drying.
  • Further, heat enough oil in a deep frying pan or Kadai.
  • Take one dough ball and grease the rolling plate and rolling pin with some oil.
  • After that, place the dough ball on the rolling plate and roll it out evenly.
  • Make sure that the poori is not thin in the center. Roll it out from the edges.
  • To check if the oil is heated well, drop a small dough lump into it. If it floats immediately on the surface that means the oil is heated well.
  • The oil for frying the poori should be heated well.
  • When the oil is sufficiently hot then add one poori at a time and fry gently pressing down with the frying spoon or slotted spoon in a circular motion.
  • After that, flip the sides and fry until it turns golden brown in color.
  • Further, drain out the fried poori on a plate.
  • Likewise, fry the rest of the puris as well.
  • With this much dough, approx 20 pooris can be prepared.
  • Finally, serve these steaming hot puffy and tasty poori with jeera aloo, Chole Masala, or any other curry or Sukhi Sabji that you relish eating.
