Ingredients
- 2 cups wheat flour (plus extra for dusting)
- 1 cup spinach leaves (palak), washed and drained
- 2 tbsp coriander leaves (optional, for added flavor
- 1-2 green chillies
- 1 tsp cumin seeds
- 1/2 tsp salt
- Water (as needed for kneading)
- Oil for deep frying
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the spinach leaves, coriander leaves, green chillies (if using), and a little water to make a smooth paste.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the wheat flour, salt, cumin seeds, and the prepared spinach paste. Mix well.
- Gradually add water as needed and knead to form a smooth, pliable dough. The dough should be firm but not too tight. Cover and let it rest for about 15-20 minutes.
- Divide the dough into small, lemon-sized balls.
- Dust each ball lightly with flour and roll them out into small circles, approximately 3-4 inches in thickness
- Heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium heat. To check if the oil is ready, drop a small piece of dough into the oil; if it rises to the surface immediately, the oil is hot enough.
- Slide one rolled-out poori into the hot oil gently. Press it lightly with a slotted spoon. The poori should puff up.
- Flip it over and fry the other side until golden brown.
- Remove the poori from the oil and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
- Repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
