Ingredients

  • cup whole wheat flour/ atta
  • 3 medium-sized boiled potatoes
  • salt to taste
  • ½ tsp red chili powder
  • ¼ tsp garam masala
  • ½ tsp saunf/ fennel seeds
  • ¼ tsp ajwain/carom seeds
  • oil to fry
  • water to make the dough

Instructions

For Dough

  • Mash the potatoes. There should be no lump left as that will not let the poori puff up. Add all the spices.
  • Mix thoroughly. Now add the whole wheat flour.
  • Using as little water as you can make a tight dough as you would make for regular poori. As potatoes dough will not be very hard.

for Frying

  • Make around 16 balls and roll the dough. you can make smaller pooris also but for kids Tiffin, I like this size.
  • Deep fry till puffed up and golden brown on both sides. For crispier Pooris you can fry them for a little longer to dark brown.
  • Serve with chutney, achaar, chunda or simply roll them up and start enjoying.

Notes

Note: you can increase spices according to your preference. This is how my kids liked it.
Don't cut down on the number of potatoes as that will spoil the taste of the pooris.
