This potato poori was born in a whim.The other day as I was gathering the ingredients to make potato phulka,suddenly changed my mind,tweaked the recipe and made these pooris. This potato poori is a healthy and tasty food for kids/toddlers,poori being their all time favorite and when it comes packed with another favorite veggie-potato,they don't have a reason to deny. I did not say a word about these and served them,but the difference in taste and flavor was keenly noted by my husband and certified tasty :).These piping hot pooris were lovingly devoured with tamatar ka salan,blissful dinner indeed :). I highly recommend you try these for your kids,they are gonna love it :)
Potato poori recipe
Star ingredients: Potato
Time:40 minutes
Serves:3
I did not take stepwise pics for this as the mobile I use for step wise pics was not working.Instead I have added step wise pics from phulks,as the kneading is quite the same here too.
Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup rava/sooji/cream of wheat
1 large or 2 medium sized potatoes
3 teaspoons oil
1/4 water
Salt
Oil for deep frying
Method:
1.Boil and peel the potatoes.Mash them very well when they are still hot.There should not be any lumps left.
2.Take wheat flour and rava in a mixing bowl.Add the mashed potato,3 teaspoons oil and salt.Mix well with your fingers.Start kneading the dough without any water first,potato will leave out moisture.
3.Now add 1/4 cup water and knead to a stiff dough.Heat oil for deep frying.
4.Divide the dough into 12-14 lemon sized balls and roll out thin circles.
5.Deep fry 2-3 pooris at a time,till golden from both sides,on a medium flame.
6.Serve hot with any spicy gravy/sabzi.It is better to avoid potato sabzi/masala here as poori already contains potato.
Notes:
1.Be sure to mash the potatoes very well.If there are any lumps,it may cause blistering while deep frying.
2.Do not add more than 1/4 cup of water,potatoes contain the needed moisture already.
3.Do not let the dough rest after kneading,resting the dough is needed only for chapathi.
4.Rava will make the pooris crispy.
