Poori - Fried Crispy Puffy Doughball Of Goodness.

This time on Blog, We are going to be making Fried Crispy Puffy Doughball Of Goodness - Poori.

What's Needed:
We will need the dough that I posted in my last blog post.
Along with a dash of dry flour
Cooking oil.

Prep Work:
Take the dough and make a big golf size dough ball.

Now on a clean cooking surface, sprinkle some dry flour and start rolling the dough ball with a rolling pin. We are looking to form the dough ball into a round shape and the thickness we are going for is about 2 mm thin.

Once that's done, you need to take a deep frying pan or WoK and bring the oil temperature up-to 425 or till you start seeing the oil glisten. Easy way to test if the oil is ready, just drop in a small ball of dough, if it sinks and doesn't come up, let it heat up more, if its too hot, VERY carefully add some cold oil.

Cooking:
very VERY carefully drop in the flat dough disk away from your self. It will initially sink and start puffing, flip it so the other side can also cook. We are looking for the Poori to be light golden brown.

Serving Suggestion:
This goes really well with any savory salty dish, me personally, I love to eat these with chickpeas dish called Punjabi Choleys, but you can have it with any dish you want to eat it with, but please do try to eat it while it's still hot and freshly made.

What's Needed:
1 cup Dry red Kedney beans.
Cover with water and soak for 5-6 hrs.
Now put them in a pressure cooker with water and salt to taste.
Ration to be used 1 cup dry beans to 3 cups water.

Pressure cook till fork tender or till they are cooked through.

Tarka Prep:
dice 2 medium onion
4-5 cloves of garlic diced
1/2 in of ginger diced
3 medium size tomatos.
3-4 green hot chillies

In a shallow pan, add about 2 table spoon of oil and the pan should be on high heat
add 1/2 tea spoon whole mustard seeds
add 1/2 tea spoon cuman seeds
add 3 bay leads
add 2 black cardmom seeds ( 4 green cardmom seeds can do too).

As soon as you hear the mustard seeds start cracking add the onion and mix it up.

As soon as the onion start looking transluent, add ginder 1st, let it cook for a few seconds, then add ginger and green peppers.
Mix and then add one staranis and 1 1/2 whole dry chillies.

Once the onion start getting golden brown the following dry spices will go in

1 tea spoon Turmuric
1/4 tea spoon kasuri methi
1/2 tea spoon amchoor power
1/2 tea spoon cumin power
1/2 tea spoon salt (Because we did add salt to the beans while they were boiling)

As soon as you start smelling the spices now we need to add the diced tomatos. Add about 1/2 a cup of water, bring the heat up to medium high and cook till the tomatos have cook and are fine.

Now very carefully add the tarka into the pressure cooker and mix well
NOTE: This is the perfect time to taste the salt and spices, add any as need or to taste.

Once the tarka is in with the beans, put the lid back on the pressure cooker and cook for 3 more minutes.

Pita/Roti/Paratha - yes, you can serve it with them too.

Amazing Atta Dough with multiple uses.

What's Needed:
1 Lb of Whole Wheet Flour.
750 Ml of cold water.
1 tea spoon olive oil

Prep Work:
Put the Whole Wheet Flour into a big bowl and make a well in the middle and 500 ml of cold water.

Now mix the flour and water so the flour starts absorbing the the water and starts forming lumps.
Now comes the part where you have to kneed the dough.

NOTE: remove your rings, make sure to have clean washed hands and to prevent the dough from sticking to your hands, you can put just a little bit of oil on your hands.

Once there are no more lumps left, add dough is getting hard to kneed, add more water so its easy to work with.

NOTE: If you add too much water, no worries, just add some dry flour.

Once done, the dough should be like soft play-dough.

Storage:
Brush a glass bowl with olive oil and make the dough into a big ball and just drop it in. Cover with clear plastic and you MUST allow it to rest for 30 minutes before using.

Cooking:
This dough is a multi tasker, it can be used to make Roti, parath's and pooris.
