How to make Aloo Masala Puri Recipe
Combine the whole wheat flour, sooji, boiled and mashed potato along with cumin seeds, turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, red chili flakes, garam masala, Kasuri methi, salt, and mix well. Knead into a stiff dough.
Divide the dough into small lime size pieces and roll it out into a 3 to 4 inch circle dusting with little flour. I got 12 pooris.
Carefully slide rolled poori into hot oil and deep fry on both sides until it slightly changes color.
Remove it from the oil using a slotted spoon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate. Serve Potato Masala Poori recipe warm with any side dish of your choice.
Tips to make the Best Aloo Masala Puri
- The dough should not be soft like a roti or loose or sticky. It should be slightly stiff yet smooth.
- Roll the aloo masala pooris of medium thickness. If it is too thin, like roti, then it will not puff up while frying.
- Do not forget to add semolina/sooji as it helps keep aloo poori crispy for longer.
- While deep frying, the pooris ensure that the oil is hot sufficiently else, the poori will not puff up.
Variations
- You can also replace Kasuri methi with finely chopped coriander leaves or mint (pudina).
- You can also add spinach puree or beetroot puree instead of potato and make these masala pooris.
- Adjust the spices according to your taste.
