Singhare Ki Poori Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup Singhare Flour (Kuttu)
• 1 tbsp Oil
• 2 tsp Oregano (Ajwain) Seeds
• 1/4 cup Coriander Leaves
• 1/4 cup Chopped Spinach

• 2 Green Chilies, chopped
• 1 tbsp Red Chili Powder
• Salt to taste
• Water, for kneading
• Oil, for deep frying

Method

• Mix all the mentioned ingredients thoroughly (except oil) in Singhara flour.
• Since Singhara flour is not like the normal wheat flour, you need not add too much of water while kneading it.
• After kneading the flour well, take small portion of the flour and make it into a small kneaded ball, in your palm. Then, shape the kneaded ball it into a puri.
• Heat oil in a frying pan and fry poori, until it becomes dark brown in color.
• Repeat the above step with the rest of the flour mixture.
