BM #28 Day 3
Last day in the Indian flat bread series, and today I have made the fried bread.This stuffed poori has been on my to do list since a long time, but since it is fried , it becomes difficult for me to make .Difficult, since no one will eat, so I made just these two pooris and from the rest of the dough and stuffing I made parathas.I served these with Dahi Wale Aaloo. Dahi Wale Aaloo is a recipe to die for.I shall post it very soon.The two pooris were divided in eight parts...yes !! so everyone got a small piece to taste.The taste was awesome, but all preferred parathas those too just sprayed with very little oil.Anyway, this health story is a every day story..so let's not get into it ..Here is the recipe....
