Puri with Potato masala

                                                Puri with Potato Masala



       Poori masala as it popularly known is a staple breakfast in South India. Generally poori is made out of maida or refined flour. But I prefer wheat flour poori, over maida one.
      Wheat pooris are soft compared to maida ones. Maida poori tends to become stiff and hard over time. Poori along with potato masala is great combination.
      While making pooris take few tips to achieve fluffy ones. They are, you should add 1/2 tea spoon suji rava for 1 cup of wheat flour to make it fluffy. To make fluffy stay for a longer period, 1/4 tea spoon of sugar should be added for 2 cups of wheat flour.
      So these are the things to be noted while making pooris. Here is the recipe for Puri and potato masala.
