aloo ki puri recipe | aloo poori | masala poori | potato poori | with 20 amazing images.
aloo poori is a fabulous Indian puri made from plain flour, whole wheat flour, boiled potatoes, Indian masala and oil for deep frying. With so much flavour ingrained in aloo ki puri that you don’t need any accompaniments to complete it! I love to have my hot masala poori with some chilled curds.
The dough of masala poori is reinforced with boiled potatoes and a thoughtful mix of Indian spice powders, which gives it a wonderfully soft texture and energetic flavour.
Notes to make perfect aloo ki puri recipe. 1. To make the dough for aloo puri, first boil, peel and grate potatoes. This helps in making soft puri. Also, it is important to grate the potatoes so, there are no lumps and the puri doesn’t tear while rolling. 2. Gradually add water and knead into a stiff dough. It is very important to prepare a stiff dough as that would require less or no use of whole wheat flour while rolling. If you use too much flour while rolling, then while frying this flour particle will get burnt and settle down in oil and later stick to puri while frying. 3. If you are facing difficulty in rolling the pooris then grease the rolling board and rolling pin with some oil to prevent aloo poori from sticking to it.
The aloo poori is great to have for breakfast or tea-time. Don’t forget to add a little ghee to the dough because it gives the xxxxmasala poori a good texture and rich flavour to it.
Like aloo poori then you can also try other puris like Banana and Rajgira Puri, Spinach Puri and Kand Puri.
