• Remove it from the oil using slotted spoon and place on paper towel lined plate and serve warm with any side dish of your choice.

Notes

Tips & Variations

• Dough should not be soft like roti or loose or sticky. It should be slight stiff yet smooth.
• Roll the spinach pooris of medium thickness. If it is too thin like roti then it will not puff up while frying.
• Instead of adding spinach puree to the dough, you can add finely chopped spinach.
• You can add masalas like red chilli powder, hing, jeera powder etc to make this poori even more delicious.
