How to Make Poori with Step by Step Instructions

Описание: How to Make Poori with Step by Step Detailed Instructions using 3 Different Types of FLOUR, By Hand and Stand Mixer. This is the easiest Indian bread you can make at home. It’s much easier than roti, chapathi and paratha, because it’s deep fried and will taste fine even if it doesn’t puff up completely. If rotis and chapathis aren’t soft, they’re not pleasant to eat.

Today, I’ll show you the different types of flour used to make pooris, how to make the dough by hand and in a stand mixer, how to roll it easily and how to fry so they puff up.
To make poori, you can use any of these three types of flour. The most common is atta or whole wheat flour. Chakki is the grinding process. This flour is golden in color. If you’ve had poori in an Indian restaurant, it’s made with atta. Atta is sold in Indian markets. I’ll leave links below the video if you don’t have access to an Indian store and want to get it online.
The second option is Whole wheat flour found in standard grocery stores. This is similar to atta but a little more brown in color. Your poori will be darker in color when fried than the ones made with atta. This flour is good for making pooris and has a delicious wheaty taste. It tastes the healthiest and has the most texture out of all three options.
The third is all purpose flour or maida. It’s white flour and pooris will be very light in color. The dough is the softest and easiest to work with. It’s also very chewy and bland, not my favorite for poori. Some people will use half all purpose flour and half atta which makes pooris tastier than using just ap flour.
To make the dough, all you need is flour, salt, water and a bit of oil.
I’ll use the atta first and show you how to make the dough in my Kitchenaid stand mixer. This is the fastest and easiest way to make dough. Put 2 cups of atta in the bowl, ½ tsp salt, dough hook for mixing, 2 tsp vegetable oil, and hot water (not boiling water, just hot) mix on stir speed and add water as necessary. You’ll definitely need ½ cup of water so add that in 2 stages, then a tablespoon or two. I always heat ¾ cup of water and have that ready in a measuring cup. So after you’ve used ½ cup, use a tablespoon and drizzle in additional water. When the dough hook has picked up all the flour in the bowl, go to speed 2. Then let the machine run for 5 minutes. The dough will come off the hook cleanly. Form it into a disc. You see it’s soft, press it with your finger and the indent should remain. I’m happy because I know this’ll be really easy to roll out.
Cover it in plastic wrap or leave it in a bowl and cover with a cloth. The dough doesn’t have to rest for long, 5, 10 minutes is fine. Now, I’ll heat up my Lodge mini wok which is extremely useful and not heavy compared to my other cast iron pans. It’s perfect for frying pooris because you don’t have to use so much oil. Add oil, just enough to deep fry the pooris, about a ⅓ of the way up the wok. While the oil is heating, roll out the dough. You’ll need a rolling pin and a little bowl with two tablespoons of oil. I like to use this tapered rolling pin, it’s lighter and much easier to use on this soft dough. Also, have a paper towel lined plate and a slotted spoon or spatula to drain the pooris. You should get about 14 balls depending on the size you want to make. It’s best to make small ones especially if you are new to making pooris.Take a small ball of dough and roll it in your palms. Make all the balls and keep them in a bowl covered with a cloth so they don’t dry out. Take one ball, flatten it a little and rub a drop of oil on the top and bottom so it’s easy to roll.
I served it with potato curry. It’s easy to make and I’ve put a link to that video below this one. Pooris are perfect served with any meat curry, potato curry, chickpea curry or sabzi.
I hope you try making pooris and different curries to go with them.
