PLAIN FLOUR POORI

Preparation Method :

• Sift the flours, into a large mixing bowl. Add the salt, vegetable oil then add sufficient water to mix to dough.
• Tip the dough out on to a lightly floured surface and knead for at least 10 minutes until smooth.
• Place in an oiled bowl and cover with oiled plastic wrap. Leave for 20 -30 minutes.
• Place the dough on the floured surface. Divide into 10-12 equal pieces. roll one piece into a round.
• Repeat with the remaining dough. Stack the pooris, layered between clear film, to keep them moist.
• Pour the oil in a deep frying pan. Using a metal spatula, lift one poori and gently slide it into the oil; it will sink but will then return to the surface and begin to sizzle.
• Gently press the poori into the oil. It will puff up. Turn the poori over after a few seconds and allow it to cook for a further 20 seconds.
• Remove the poori from the pan and pat dry with kitchen paper.

• Place the cooked poori on a large baking tray and keep warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining pooris. Serve warm.
