Kezhvaragu/ finger millet POORI (Sounds Delicious) I use to make Poori on weekends my hubby’s favorite Food. Weekends only he able to taste and njoy the food so most of my special will takes place on weekends. I usually make Kezhvaragu/ fingermillet chapathi very often so I thought why not Poori? So here is the recipe even my lil one too loved this.
Ingredient:
- Kezhavaragu/ finger millet flour – ½ cup
- Whole wheat flour – ½ cup
- Salt – 1 tsp
- Olive oil/mild cooking oil – 1 tblsp
- Baking soda – 1/8 tsp(optional)
- Water – as req
- Oil – for deep frying
Procedure:
Step 1:
In a wide mixing bowl add both the flours and salt and mix well (if you adding baking soda add by this time- baking soda helps to raise the poori and absorbs oil)
Step 2:
Pour water little by little until it reaches the chapathi dough consistency. Now add a tblsp of oil and knead for a while and rest for some time
Step 3:
In a frying pan pour the required oil for frying the poori’s and pre heat the oil by that time rolled out the pooris.
Step 4:
Once the oil get hot then add the poori one at a time. it will puff up within a min or so then flip it and allow it to cook for few seconds, once the sizzle sounds off take off the poori and place it over a paper towel and serve hot with poori masala or any subzi.
