Poori Recipe

Poori's are south Indian favorites of all time. Be it breakfast, lunch or dinner it goes well with all!  Poori bhaji is the famous food combination in most of the parts, but believe me poori chole is also delicious. Here is the ingredients you will need for poori,

• 1 and 1/2 Cups of Wheat Flour
• 1 Tbsp of Oil
• Salt to taste
• lukewarm Water for kneading
• Oil for deep frying

In a mixing bowl add the flour, oil, salt and give it a mix. Add water to this to make a dough ( dough should be a little drier than chapati ). Keep it aside for 10 to 25 minutes. Make balls and roll it to make a small circle ( not as big as chapati ).  Fry this in oil on medium flame for a minute or so until it turns golden brown. Remove the poori and place it on the paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve hot with bhaji, chole or any other curry.

Spicy Dosa

Dosa, a south Indian special, is usually a breakfast food but can be served for lunch or dinner as a side dish. This spicy dosa contains the batter with additional spices. It's our all time favorite. Here is the recipe,

• 1 and 1/2 Cups of Rice soaked in water for about 2 to 3 hours
• 1 Tbsp of Coriander Seeds
• 1 Tsp of Jeera Seeds ( Cumin Seeds )
• 5 to 8 Red Chilies
• Tamarind ( about a size of cashew )
• 1/4 Cup grated Coconut
• 1 piece of Jaggery

Grind rice with all the above ingredients except the jaggery. Blend it until the rice is smooth. Now add the jaggery and give it a quick pulse. The batter is ready. Pour it on to a thawa and make the yummy dosas. Serve hot with butter or any chutney.
