Sweet Whole Wheat Poori: A Unique Twist
Introduction:
This recipe offers a delightful twist on the traditional poori, incorporating sweetness and a touch of cardamom. While the addition of sugar and cardamom may alter the classic texture and taste, it presents a unique opportunity for experimentation and flavor exploration.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup yogurt
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cardamom powder
- Water as needed
- Vegetable oil or ghee for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Dough: Combine whole wheat flour, yogurt, sugar, and cardamom powder in a bowl. Gradually add water while kneading to form a soft, pliable dough. Let the dough rest for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours for enhanced flavor.
- Shape the Pooris: Divide the dough into small, equal-sized balls. Roll each ball into a thin, circular shape, similar to a regular poori.
- Fry the Pooris: Heat oil or ghee in a deep pan. Carefully slide the pooris into the hot oil one by one. Press gently with a slotted spoon to encourage puffiness. Fry until golden brown on both sides.
- Serve: Serve hot with your favorite pickle or chutney.
Tips:
- For a crispier poori, use slightly less water when making the dough.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan while frying the pooris to ensure even cooking.
- Experiment with different fillings like mashed potatoes or grated paneer for a flavorful variation.
- Enjoy your sweet whole wheat poori, a delightful departure from the traditional!
Note: This recipe is a creative departure from the classic poori. Feel free to adjust the ingredients and ratios to achieve your desired taste and texture. Happy cooking!
