Hello all my dear ones,
I neglected cooking a bit and am sorry for that. It was pure lack of time.
But finally I wanted to try something out this weekend and opted for poori, the fried indian bread. I think it´s famous served with poatoes but I like them with every indian curry and had it with my quick chicken curry. ;)
Well, I still need a lot of pratice but the taste is already really good. As far as I can rate.
The recipe is very simple, all you need is flour, salt and water.
But an indian friend told me to add some semolina to make them even more crispy.
So let´s go...
Ingredients für 6 to 8 pieces:
1 cup of flour (Atta)
1/2 tsp salt
lukewarm water
1-2 Tbsp semolina
Oil to fry
Method:
Put the flour, semolina and salt in a bowl and slowly add water.
Mix all together to get a soft dough. Add water little by little and make sure the dough becomes not too sticky neither too dry. Take your time, you should knead at least 10 to 15 minutes. You can also add 1 Tbsp of oil to the dough.
Now there are different opinions about allowing the dough to rest or not. I personally let it rest for 20 to 30 minutes on a warm place.
But you can proceed right away when you prefer.
So make small balls out of the dough, maybe golf ball size and then roll them out into small circles (still struggling with that ;) ) with thin to medium thickness. Don´t let them get too thin, they will only become hard/ crispy while frying.
Now I put them for 10 minutes into the fridge, that helps to avoid them soaking too much of oil and they become quite crsipy-soft.
Meanwhile you heat up the oil and then fry them one after the other. If they don´t come up immediatley, the oil isn´t hot enough.
While the poori is coming up to the surface make sure that you ladle some oil on the top always, that will help to make them puff up.
Turn them around so that it evenly goldenbrown/ reddish.
Take them out and place them on a paper towel to drain oil.
And then serve hot with your dish. :)
Maybe you give it a try?
If you have any questions or suggestion don´t hesitate to leave a comment below. :)
