You will need:
- ½ cup wheat flour
- ½ cup Maida flour/ All purpose flour
- ¼ cup Sooji/ Rava
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tbsp oil for kneading dough
- milk for kneading dough(less than ¼ cup)
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 inch ginger(finely copped)
- bunch of spinach
- 2 green chillies
- oil for deep frying
Step 1:
To make spinach paste:
In a non stick pan just put a few drops of oil. When its hot add chopped ginger,green chillies and garlic to it and saute it till it turns golden brown color. Now add spinach and close with a lid. After 2 mins you can see that the spinach is fully cooked. Now allow it to cool for few minutes. Then grind it to a fine paste using blender/mixie. Use one cup of paste to make poori. You can make palak sausage gravy or palak paneer gravy or spinach chapathi with the remaining paste.
Step 2:
To make dough:
Sieve the maida/ all purpose flour if it has any lumps. In a mixing bowl add wheat flour, maida/ all purpose flour, sooji/rava, salt, sugar and 1 cup of spinach paste. Mix it all together. Add milk to knead the dough. Finally add 1 tbsp oil and kneadit. The dough should have the consistency similar to pizza, chapathi. Allow the dough to rest for 1 hour. Then divide the balls into small balls.
Step 3:
Flatten/roll the dough using rolling pin to get a circular shape. If you are not able to get the perfect round shape just cut it using large cookie cutter/ lunch box lid after flattening to get the perfect round shape.
Step 4:
Heat oil in deep fry pan. Better to have the flame medium. When the oil is hot just drop the flattened poori into the oil. Press with the spatula with a slotted spoon to get puffed poori. when it turns golden brown just flip it to get golden brown color in the next side too. When the poori is ready just place it in the paper towel. Enjoy with potato masala, chicken masala, palak sausage gravy, or with your favorite side dish.
Note:
- You can use cookie cutters to get your desired shapes.
- You can make palak panner gravy by replacing sausage with panner. Enjoy your day with a healthy breakfast. Can have this for dinner too.
