Ingredients: 2cups chapati flour(atta) 1/2tsp salt 1tbsp dry roasted cumin seeds(coarsely crushed) 1tsp freshly cracked black pepper 2tbsp melted ghee or vegetable oil 3/4th cup buttermilk(matha) Oil for deep frying
Preparation: In a large bowl place the flour, add salt, seeds and black pepper. Rub the melted ghee or vegetable oil into it.
Make stiff but pliable dough using buttermilk.
Cover the dough with damp cloth and set aside for 30 minutes.
Knead dough a little again. Dough should be stiff enough to roll without extra flour.
Make small balls of the dough and cover them with damp cloth.
Take one ball of dough and dip a corner of ball in melted ghee or oil and roll it out into 5 to 6 inches round. Repeat the same process to roll out all pooris.
Heat plenty of oil in a kadhai until very hot.
Put in a poori and immediately start flickering hot oil over the top of it with a spatula so that it will swell up like a ball.
This should take only a few seconds. Flip the poori over and cook the other side until golden brown.
Serve hot immediately.
