Classic Poori

Delight in the fluffy, golden goodness of Poori, a traditional Indian deep-fried bread. Perfectly paired with curries or enjoyed on their own, these light and airy breads are a staple in many households.

Steps

1. In a bowl, combine whole wheat flour, salt, and carom seeds.
2. Gradually add water, kneading to form a soft dough.
3. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.
4. Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat.
5. Divide the dough into small balls and roll each ball into a thin circle.
6. Carefully slide the rolled Poori into the hot oil, and fry until it puffs up and turns golden brown, about 30 seconds on each side.
7. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
8. Serve hot with your favorite curry or chutney.
