Masala Poori step by step

1. In a wide bowl, place whole wheat flour, semolina, carom seeds, turmeric powder, red chilli powder, cumin seeds, green chilies, asafoetida, kasoori methi and salt..
2. Add yogurt and mix well into the flour mixture. Slowly add water to form a slightly firm dough. Cover and allow to sit for at least 20 minutes..
3. Now divide the kneaded poori dough. Shape them into round balls. Coat the working surface as well as the rolling pin with a little oil. Coat each ball with a little oil (do not dust with flour) and roll into a flat round shape..
4. Heat oil in a heavy bottomed vessel or kadhai till hot. If you place a small piece of dough in the oil, it should sizzle up. Reduce heat to medium and place a rolled puri into the oil and with very gentle pressure press with the back of a slotted ladle till it puffs up..
5. Flip over the poori and allow to cook for a few seconds till it attains a light golden shade. Place the poori over an absorbent paper towel to absorb excess oil. Prepare pooris with the rest of the balls and serve warm..
