Poories
Ingredients:
Wheat flour. 2 cups
Water about 1/4 cup
Oil. 1 table spoon
Salt to taste
Oil for deep frying
Method :
Make a tight dough with wheat flour water salt and oil. Add water little by little and just add enough to make the dough tight ( This should be harder than the dough prepared for making rotis/ chapathis)
This need not have to sit for long just make the dough about 15 minutes before you deep fry the poories
Heat oil oil a thick bottomed frying pan
Take small quantities of dough and roll them into round flat poories
Keep little oil in a cup and use it to knead the dough into flat poories
Test the oil if it is ready
put a very little/small piece of dough ball into hot oil and if it comes up immediately the oil is ready for deep frying
Slowly put the flat poori into oil ( slide it carefully from the side) ( we use ladle called Kannu Chattuvam in Tamil meaning a ladle with lot of eyes)
Using the ladle just gently touch the poori's surface in the oil. Slowly the poories start to pop up. Gently turn it using the ladle. When it turns light brown remove it and keep it out on a kitchen tissue. Deep fry one by one the poories and be very very careful while deep frying as the oil,will be very hot.
Eat it with alu masal curry
