Spinach Poori - Palak Poori
Indian puffed bread made with spinach, giving one of the best tasting poori and the goodness of spinach
Ingredients
- 200 Grams Spinach/Palak
- 2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 Tbsp Oil
- 200 Ml Oil For Deep Frying (Not whole oil will get used)
Instructions
- First of all wash spinach leaves and put them in salted boiling water for 10 minutes. After that take spinach out and grind spinach to a fine paste.
- Now add this paste, salt and one tablespoon of oil to the flour and knead it to a semi-tight dough.
- Keep this Dough covered for 10 minutes.
- Now divide the dough into 15 equal parts and make the small rounds of it.
- Roll each and every round into a 4-5 inch diameter circle.
- Deep fry these circles (Poori) in the hot oil from both the sides till they are crispy.
- Serve these spinach pooris hot and enjoy them with the curry, pickle, raita of your choice :)
Notes
- Always check the temperature of oil before frying poori. If oil is too hot, the poori will be brown in colour without cooking properly (only the surface layer will get cooked) and if oil is cold the poori will not fluff properly.
- Dough needs to be in semi-tight state.
- Try to use fresh dough.
- Make sure that spinach / palak is in paste state when kneading.
