Masala Poori | Spicy Poori

Poori, the one item which is ALWAYS there in the menu during any festival, big or small occasions. Like it’s mandatory to have poori in the menu. 😀 This is one of the most versatile recipe which can be made in various ways and can be served with any curry. You can make poori sweet or spicy. AND it can be eaten in breakfast/ brunch/ lunch or dinner.

Poori’s are mainly served with potato curry in EVERY part of India. Trust me no meal can be more tempting and comforting than this. 🙂 As it’s summer so I rarely cook deep fried food but when it comes to making poori JUST ignore the weather and enjoy the meal 😀 Today when I was wondering what to cook for breakfast that’s when my dear husband asked me to prepare Poori and potato curry for lunch as the Shravan month has started and we can’t have non-vegetarian meal so what’s better that Poori- potato curry to enjoy sunday 😛

Though I am not bored of eating same old poori every time but this spicy poori is a nice variation to the regular one. Just add some spices, knead n knead and knead..deep fry and it’s ready. Yeah it’s as simple as that. 😀
