Aloo ki Poori (Aloo ki puri) step by step instructions:

Normal puris are so delightful to eat. (Check out my Puris recipe here).
But if you are craving for some interesting spicy puris then surely make “Aloo ki poori”.

Let us start cooking!!!

Ingredients:
Potatoes: 2 medium (boiled, peeled and grated)
Wheat flour: 1 cup
Ginger paste: 1 tsp
Coriander leaves: 2 tbsp (finely chopped)
Green chilies: 2 (finely chopped)
Red chili powder: ½ tsp
Coriander powder: 2 tsp
Cumin seeds: 1 tsp
Turmeric powder: ½ tsp
Asafetida: a pinch
Carom seeds (ajwain): ½ tsp
Clarified butter (Ghee): 2 tbsp
Water: 1 tbsp (or as required to knead the flour)
Lemon juice: 1 tsp
Salt as per taste
Oil for frying the puris

Method:

1. In a big plate mix together flour, potatoes, ginger, coriander leaves, green chilies, red chili powder, turmeric powder, coriander powder, salt, asafetida, cumin seeds, ghee, carom seeds and lemon juice.

2. Add little water and knead. The dough should be stiff.

3. Cover the dough and let it rest for half an hour.
4. Make small equal balls of the dough.

5. Heat oil in kadai.
6. Grease the rolling pin and board.
7. Take one ball and start rolling it.
8. Make circles of around 3-4 inches in diameter or when the circle is around 3-4 mm in thickness.

9. Put the puri in hot oil.
10. Let it fry from one side and then flip and fry from the other side.

11. Similarly do for other balls also.
12. Hot and crispy aloo ki puris are ready.
13. Serve hot with pickles, curd etc.

Tips:
1. Be careful while kneading the flour as we want the dough to be stiff.
2. Keep the flame on high. Low flames tend to absorb more oil.
3. Some oil is required while rolling the puris otherwise the puris might stick to the rolling board.
