Poori

poori an Indian bread prepared in a similar way to chapati, but deep fried in such a way that the pooris puff up.

Pooris are made with a variety of flours depending on the type of poori with a small addition of oil or ghee and enough warm water to make a stiff dough which is then kneaded. The dough is then usually divided up into balls which are then flattened and rolled out into rounds. The frying is done in a utensil called karhai, using smoking hot oil or ghee.
