Multigrain Pooris along with potato masala and sooji ki kheer or aamras is my family favorite breakfast on weekends. Only way to bring goodness to fried pooris is by using multigrain flour. Do give this recipe a try!
As Lil’M is on summer vacation, morning scene has completely changed in my house. As routine me and Lil’M wake up early and lay in bed talking or just playing out candy crush in tab. Turning towards me throwing her little hand and leg around my tummy….moving close…rubbing her nose with mine….gently in a soft sleepy voice Lil’M asks me what is in breakfast??? (This habit of her is inherited from her ‘Papa’…..When I got married and moved to stay with him…every night before going to sleep he use to ask me what is going to be there in breakfast next day morning…..) I ask her in a low tone….what you like to have….and the list goes endless…
Conversation between me and Lil’M this morning….
- Lil’M – Mamma, aaj breakfast mein kya hain??? (What’s there in breakfast today?)
- Me – What you want to eat??
- Lil’M – yesterday we had dosa, the day before we had brother of dosa that is upma, and the other day we had sister of dosa…idli…goes on with the relations of dosa….
- Me – Hmmmm….toh phir aaj kya? (Then, what you want me to make today?)
- Lil’M – moving still closer and hugging me little tight whispers Poori…..
- Me – Poooooooori…..
- Lil’M – Ha mamma….it’s been long you made poori….the big brother of dosa….or say papa of dosa….
I could not control my smile now…..planting a kiss on her cheek, i and got up to make breakfast of her choice. She followed me to kitchen, pulling her small chair to sit in the kitchen with me, talking, singing rhymes, playing with the dough, making mini poori’s for her papa….Sending a silent prayer and thanking Allah SWT for this blessed morning….I start making pooris…
So let’s start by making hot and fluffy pooris. This is my humble treat to all the kids who are enjoying their summer vacation. My darling Lil’M likes her pooris to be dipped in aloo masala, whereas my dear husband likes it to have with kheer….so here is a virtual treat to you all….Tell me what is your favourite summer breakfast recipe, when kids are at home on vacation???
Multigrain Pooris
INGREDIENTS:
- 1½ cup Multi grain Flour
- ½ tbsp. Salt
- ½ tbsp. Sugar
- 2 tbsp. warm Oil
- Water for kneading
- Oil for deep frying
How to make Multigrain Pooris
PREPARATION:
- In a wide bowl, add flour, salt, sugar and oil. Gently with your fingers mix until it resembles bread crumbs.
- Now start adding water slowly and mix the dough. Knead the dough until soft (just like roti | chapatti dough).
- Cover and set aside for 15-20 minutes. Meanwhile you can work on aloo masala or kheer.
- Heat enough oil for deep frying in kadai/wok. Reduce the flame to medium and start working on rolling pooris.
- You can roll on pooris just like you roll roti/chapatti or you can use poori presser (easily available in kitchen utensil’s shop or online).
- Grease the inner plates of poori presser as shown in the picture. Pinch lemon size dough and round it with your palm and keep it between the plates of poori presser.
- Press gently and check the size, if you want slightly thin ones, then press again.
- Gently and carefully from the side of the kadai, drop the pressed poori into hot oil.
- Using a slotted ladle, turn the poori upside down. By now the poori will be fluffy and round.
- Take out onto a plate lined with kitchen tissue to absorb excess oil.
- Serve hot with your choice of side dish. I served with aloo masala and kheer.
- Add love to make these multigrain poori’s taste ‘Yummy’.
NOTE:
If a tablespoon of roasted semolina is added to the flour , the poori’s stay fluff for long time.
