Prep Time: 30 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Ready Time: 1 hour

Ingredients for Poori:

• 2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• Water for kneading
• Oil for deep frying

Ingredients for Potato Masala:

• 4 medium-sized potatoes, boiled and peeled
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 2 green chilies, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon ginger, grated
• 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1/2 teaspoon red chili powder
• A pinch of asafoetida (hing)
• Few curry leaves
• Salt to taste
• 2 tablespoons oil
• Fresh coriander leaves for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potato Masala:
   • In a large bowl, mash the boiled potatoes until they are smooth and lump-free. Set aside.
   • Heat oil in a pan over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add cumin seeds, asafoetida, and curry leaves. Saute for a few seconds.
   • Add chopped onion, green chilies, and grated ginger. Saute until the onions turn translucent and lightly browned.
   • Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, and salt. Mix well.
   • Add the mashed potatoes to the pan and mix everything together. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the flavors are well combined.
   • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves. Remove from heat and keep the potato masala aside.
2. Prepare the Poori:
   • In a mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour and salt. Mix well.
   • Gradually add water to the flour and knead until you get a smooth and pliable dough. The dough should not be too sticky or too dry.
   • Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 15-20 minutes.
   • Heat oil in a deep frying pan or kadai over medium heat.
   • Divide the dough into small lemon-sized balls and roll each ball into a smooth round shape.
   • Roll each dough ball into a small circular disc of about 3-4 inches in diameter.
   • Carefully drop the rolled poori into the hot oil and press it gently with a slotted spoon. This will help the poori puff up.
   • Fry the poori until it turns golden brown on both sides. Remove from the oil and drain excess oil using a paper towel. Repeat the frying process with the remaining dough balls.
3. Serve:
   • Serve the hot and crispy pooris with the prepared potato masala.
   • Garnish with fresh coriander leaves, if desired.
   • Enjoy the Poori with Potato Masala!

Note: The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the pooris and the heat of the oil. Adjust accordingly to achieve the desired level of crispiness.
