PURI FOR SEV POORI | PANI POORI | DAHI POORI

(source Vah chef)

INGREDIENTS:

Rawa/semolina/sooji	1/4 cup
Maida/all purpose flour	1 tsp
Warm water or Club soda water*(Storngly recommended)	As needed
Salt	As needed

*Edited to add: I tried with soda water after seeing in few other sites,it is more easier and never fail method,so I recommend using soda water,if in case you dont have soda water, you can use warm water…

METHOD:

1. Sprinkle warm water/Soda just enough needed and make a crumbly looking sooji as shown in the picture.
2. Then add maida and knead well for 10 minutes and add a tsp of oil towards the end.
3. The dough should be stiff and smooth,so better be careful while adding water and maida. (adding more maida or water will make the poori chewy).Keep aside for 15 minutes.
4. Roll in the dough on a  clean counter top.Roll very very thin,it was bit hard for me,but still its possible. Cut into small rounds using a lid(I used my mini coffee filter’s lid)
5. Prick with fork if you dont want the pooris to puff up.
6. Heat oil and fry the pooris over medium flame till crisp.

You can store in airtight container for a week.
