Ingredients

Serves : 2
  • Wheat flour - 1.5 cups () Fully ripe tomato - 2 nos Rava / Sooji – 1.5 tsp ( I used Bombay rava) Ghee – 1/2 tsp Red chilli powder - 1.5 tsp Ajwain/omam - 1 tsp Garam masala powder - 1/2 tsp Salt & water - as needed Kasoori methi - 1 tsp ( crushed) Cooking oil - to deep fry ( I used refined oil)

Directions

  • Wash and grind 2 tomato in a mixie jar without adding water. Grind it to make a smooth puree. In a wide bowl or plate, take the wheat flour, tomato puree, rava, red chilli powder, garam masala powder, crushed kasoori methi, salt and ghee. Mix till crumbly.Remove the unground tomato pieces if any. Add water little by little and make a thick, smooth dough. Dough should be non-sticky.Knead the dough with your palm for 2-3 minutes and keep aside for 10 minutes. If you wish, you can make poori immediately. Make lemon sized balls out of the dough.Take one ball, dust with wheat flour and roll into thick, small poori as shown below. Thickness of poori should be more than chapathi. Only thick poori would puff up well. Heat oil in a kadai to deep fry the poori. Check its temperature by dropping a pinch of dough. If it rises to top immediately, oil temperature is just right.Make sure oil is not smoking hot. Keep the flame medium . Take a rolled poori, pat it with your hands to dust off the excess wheat flour and drop one poori in hot oil. When it starts to come up, just press it gently with the ladle. Poori will puff up well. Now flip the other side and cook for a minute. Remove in a tissue paper, drain the excess oil and serve hot with your favorite side dish.
